SendLoco

Our story

You watched it.
Now find it.

SendLoco is a trust-scored map of creator-recommended places, restaurants, bars, hotels and experiences indexed from the travel content you already watch.

We built SendLoco because we kept screenshotting restaurants from food vlogs and then losing them in camera rolls. The existing solutions, blog round-ups, AI trip planners, generic review sites, either summarised places without saying who recommended them, or buried the question of whether the recommendation was paid for.

The problem isn’t that influencers take sponsorships. The problem is that it’s hard to tell when they do. We built SendLoco to surface that context, so that when you see a recommendation, you know whether the creator found it themselves, or was paid to mention it.

We’re a small independent team. Not VC-backed. We don’t run ads. We don’t take money from the places we list. Our business model is affiliate links (flights, hotels, SIMs, insurance) and optional partner venue listings, both disclosed clearly every time.

What we believe

🔍

Transparency first

Every recommendation shows its trust status, Independent, Partnership Likely, Sponsored, or Partner venue. We never hide the commercial context of a pick.

🚫

No pay-to-rank

SendLoco trust scores are computed from creator mentions, Google ratings, and community votes. A venue cannot pay to improve its rank. Partner venues are disclosed and don't affect the score.

🎥

Creator-led, not editorial

We don't write recommendations. We surface what creators have already said, attribute it to them, and let you see who recommended what.

🛠

Corrections welcome

Our sponsorship detection isn't perfect. If we've misclassified a pick, or a place has closed, anyone can flag it. Creators can claim their page and manage their picks directly.

🔒

Creator control

Creators who don't want their content indexed can claim their page and opt out entirely. We respond to all opt-out requests within 48 hours.

📡

Public sources only

We work from publicly available content: creator videos and posts, plus articles from reputable publications. Every pick links back to its original source, and creators can opt out at any time.

The trust layer

Every recommendation on SendLoco carries one of four trust statuses, detected by scanning video descriptions, transcripts, affiliate links, and cross-creator patterns. No black box, the methodology is documented in full on our How it works page.
