Grow your business in the Algarve
Not a directory — a platform you actually run. Be discovered by locals, expats and tourists across Google, ChatGPT and Gemini, with full control over your profile, events and promotions.
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Yes, absolutely. Monthly plans can be cancelled from your dashboard at any time, you won't be charged again. Annual plans are active for 12 months. Founder memberships include a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Prices are displayed exclusive of IVA (currently 23% in Portugal). Portuguese businesses pay the standard rate and receive a fully deductible tax invoice. EU businesses outside Portugal can apply 0% IVA by providing a valid VIES VAT number at checkout.
The features are identical, the only difference is price. Annual gives you 2 months free (saving €120/year). Monthly gives you flexibility to cancel at any time.
Absolutely. Start with a free listing to establish your presence. When you're ready for priority ranking and more features, upgrade to Pro instantly from your dashboard.
No. Your Pro membership is attached to your user account. You can manage multiple business listings under a single subscription and they all benefit from your Pro status.
Pro partners get dedicated WhatsApp support. If you need help importing photos, writing your description, or setting up your location, just message our team and we'll help you look your best. Founder members receive full concierge setup, we build your entire profile for you.
Facebook groups are great for conversation but terrible for discovery. Posts get buried in minutes. Algarve Circle is a structured, searchable platform where your business is ranked, categorised, and easy to find 24/7, not just when you post.
Algarve Circle is built as a mobile-first web platform, it works exactly like an app in your browser, fast and responsive with no download required. A native iOS and Android app is in development.
Absolutely. Service providers often see the best return because trust matters so much in your field. The verified badge and professional profile help you stand out immediately against unverified competitors.
Once you sign up as a Pro partner, our team reviews your business details (NIF or business registration). Once confirmed, the Verified badge is applied to your listing, it tells customers you're a trusted, legitimate local business.
We don't offer refunds for partial months, but our service is contract-free. Monthly plans can be cancelled anytime from your dashboard. Annual plans have a 7-day money-back guarantee. Founder memberships include a 30-day guarantee, if Algarve Circle isn't the right fit for your business, we'll refund in full. We're looking for partners, not hostages.
Yes. Pro and Founder partners are eligible for social media spotlight features, we promote businesses and their events and updates across our Instagram and other channels. Founders receive priority spotlight.
We're currently in the exclusive founder intake phase, hand-picking the initial partners to ensure a high-quality ecosystem. Joining now means you establish your position as a category leader before thousands of other listings arrive. We verify every business, we don't scrape data from the internet.
You do. The professional copy and setup we provide are assets for your business. If you ever decide to leave, your content and data are yours to keep, we don't hold anything hostage.
Your subscription renews automatically. We'll send a reminder 30 days before renewal. You can cancel anytime from your dashboard, though please note that cancelling a Founder membership permanently forfeits the locked-in rate, if you rejoin later, it will be at the standard market rate.
Never. That's the primary benefit of the Founder's Circle. The standard price will be €600/year or more as we grow, but your rate is locked at €450/year for life.
Within 24 hours of joining, our team will WhatsApp you. Send us your existing website link, photos, or menu, and we build your entire professional profile. You don't lift a finger until it's live.
Yes. Founding partners get all-access status to every future module automatically. Plus you help decide what comes next, your feedback directly shapes our roadmap.
