Local distribution

Put the selection where it can be discovered.

We offer a clear model for making a restaurant featured by Choose Istanbul visible through venue-owned channels and local guide partnerships without compromising editorial independence.

Restaurant and venue owners

The verified owner manages their own Google Business Profile and social channels; we provide a publication-specific link and accurate attribution copy.

  1. A venue-specific linkA measurable link that takes Google and visitors directly to the relevant restaurant page instead of a generic homepage.
  2. An update from the ownerIf appropriate, the owner can publish an update and Learn more link on their Google profile, subject to Google’s review.
  3. Accurate attribution‘Selected by Choose Istanbul’ may be used without implying a Google badge, an official Google partnership or paid ranking.

Local press and creators

We shape joint guides around a neighbourhood, route or specific travel moment, helping readers move from inspiration to a decision.

  1. A defined editorial frameTheme, audience, format and publishing window are agreed up front; restaurants are included for editorial reasons.
  2. Transparent creditThe author, publisher and any commercial support are clearly disclosed. A partnership cannot buy inclusion or rank.
  3. Measurable distributionEvery partnership link carries its source; guide views and restaurant actions are evaluated through first-party events.

What we do not do

We do not add promotional wording to business names or categories, manage Google profiles we do not own, or imply that Google recommends a venue. Business Profile content is published by the owner and remains subject to Google’s policies.
