Presentation · November 13, 2026 · Regional Chamber of Commerce San Gabriel Valley
Visitors plan trips online, and right now nobody is speaking for the valley as a whole. The chamber already represents businesses in every corner of it, so it’s the natural group to do it. Visit SGV puts our cities, our attractions and our members in front of those visitors.
The gap
The 626 has a national reputation for food. The Huntington, Santa Anita Park, the Rose Bowl and Mt. Baldy bring visitors every week. In 2028 the Olympics will hold events at six venues in and around the valley.
When those visitors search for where to eat, where to stay and what to do, they land on Los Angeles tourism sites, review apps and AI answers. None of those send people to chamber members on purpose.
A visitor site fixes that. It gives the valley one address, visitsgv.com, and it gives search engines and AI tools a trusted local source to quote.
Other cities
Most Southern California destinations run one. Each is run by a visitors bureau or tourism office, not a chamber, which leaves the door open for us in the SGV.
The model for Visit SGV. Things to do, restaurants, hotels and events in one place, with local businesses featured throughout.
Powered by Long Beach Convention & Visitors Bureau, a nonprofit funded by hotel taxes and tourism district fees.
The one city in our valley that already has a visitor site. It promotes Pasadena only, so the rest of the valley is left out.
Powered by Pasadena Convention & Visitors Bureau, part of the Pasadena Center Operating Company.
Built around Disneyland and the convention center, and it sends those visitors to local hotels and restaurants.

Traffic figures are Ahrefs estimates of Google search visits from the United States, pulled November 13, 2026, and multiplied from monthly to yearly. Traffic value is what those visits would cost to buy as Google Ads. It is not money the site earned. Direct, social and paid visits are not included, so real traffic is higher.
For the chamber
Members can be featured on a site built for visitors and locals. That's a benefit a business owner understands right away, and one that non-members can't get.
Hero Box, Big Box and Shout Out placements sell by the month. Every package comes with an expanded profile page for the business.
Every page says Visit SGV is powered by the Regional Chamber. Cities, venues and the press get one place to point visitors.
Revenue
These are the current rates on the Advertise page. The total is an example with every homepage spot sold at the monthly rate.
| Placement | Spots on the homepage | Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| Hero Box | 5 slides at $100 a month | $500 |
| Big Box | 8 cards in Food and Drink at $75 a month | $600 |
| Shout Out | 9 listings in Local business shout outs at $40 a month | $360 |
| Example total | 22 advertisers. About $17,520 a year before the 20% full year discount. | $1,460 |
Two sponsorships sit on top of this. A Real Estate Sponsor spot lets one local realtor promote listings on the homepage, and a Corporate Sponsor spot puts one company’s name on every page.
Full year advertisers who prepay get 20% off, a complimentary press release and an interview post, which also gives the site fresh content every month.
Where we are
The preview site is live behind an access code. It has a homepage with a rotating hero of member businesses, the five must-see attractions, an LA28 venue guide, Food and Drink, Local business shout outs, a new Hospitality section and a trip planning section.
Five businesses have full profile pages so far, and the Advertise page is ready with rates.
Visit SGV makes sure they find our members first.
