Frequently Asked Questions

You + Me Kentucky celebrates the heartbeat of Kentucky's small towns. We help locals and visitors discover the local gems, stories, events, and family-owned businesses that make each community special — and the people behind them.

It's free. Suggest your spot at Feature Your Spot — no account or payment needed — and we'll add a simple listing. Many Kentucky businesses are already included through public sources; if yours is missing or needs better details, just let us know.

We enrich profiles from public sources, business websites, and approved suggestions. The goal is accurate local discovery, not paid placement in the public directory.

Yes. Through our Community Spotlight Partnerships we help tell the story of your town online — featured town pages, local business highlights, event promotion, and tourism itineraries. It's a statewide movement to celebrate and sustain local communities, not another advertising company.
