Discover the Burgh is one of the most read websites in Pittsburgh, and is all about sharing the best attractions, restaurants, and activities to do in the region for both visitors and locals alike!

Our articles are review-based and follow Jeremy and Angie's personal experiences visiting businesses and attractions in the greater Pittsburgh area, and since founding our site in 2015 we have featured more than 1,300 unique spots with more added weekly.

What you see is what you get here. We live in the city of Pittsburgh. We do not farm out work to staff two states over. We take our own photos. We are not owned by a media conglomerate, venture capital firm, or have any global sponsors. All articles are written by the two of us alone and feature our honest opinions good, bad, or otherwise.

We are Pittsburghers, writing for Pittsburghers and visitors to Pittsburgh, and we sure do love this great city!

Disclaimers: We do not accept guest posts. We do not sell dofollow links. We receive many requests for these but we are unable to accommodate them at this time.

For editorial-based coverage, we are available to attend media nights and opening previews plus limited hosted experiences based on our availability and brand fit. These feature honest opinions in review format only. While we are unable to guarantee fixed deliverables or branded copy for attending media events, we always produce content from hosted experiences at our discretion based on fit for our channels (e.g. social posts, Reels, and/or articles). All hosted experiences will include #hosted or equivalent legal disclosures.

For advertising opportunities, we are happy to provide a rate card for any promotion that requires branded messaging/copy, fixed post deliverables, deadlines, analytics reporting, and more. All rates are quoted in USD. We are unable accept in-kind payments/hosted experiences in exchange for branded advertising. Any content created will include disclosed “advertisement” or “sponsored” legal disclosures.

Our advertising capabilities include inclusion in our events calendar, social media shares of 3rd party events, content creation from visits with branded copy (images/videos/articles), aerial drone media creation (FAA licensed), custom contests, newsletter sponsorships, and more. We are also able to offer programmatic display advertising through our ad network, Mediavine (click here for an immediate quote).

We are also able to offer affiliate partnerships where we can reduce or waive our advertising rates and instead negotiate payment as a fixed percentage of sales such that we only get paid if you do (limitations apply). Tracking for this must be available via your payment processor (e.g. Stripe, Eventbrite, etc.) and is typically best processed via a custom coupon that can be tracked within your sales system.

All hosted content on Discover the Burgh is at our discretion, availability, and fit for our site. We reserve the right to decline any invite or advertising request for any reason. For advertising options outside of southwest Pennsylvania, we are able to offer coverage on our global travel blog, Living the Dream.
