How it works

Southwest Florida Gated Communities brings community information together in one place — guides to Lee County's gated and established neighborhoods, with the storm, cost, and contact details residents actually use, sourced from county records and kept current.

Sponsorship

What sponsorship buys

Sponsorship buys

Local businesses can sponsor their service category in a community's guide — one plumber for Herons Glen, one roofer for Pelican Preserve. Sponsorship buys that exclusive placement.

Sponsoredthe label every paid card carries
Sponsorship doesn't buy

It doesn't buy a rating, a review, or a word of our editorial. Every sponsored card is labeled “Sponsored” — everywhere it appears.

Verification

How contractors make the list

Every contractor is checked before they appear — license, entity status, and our published criteria, reviewed when they join and every 12 months.

Exclusivity

Why one contractor per category

Nobody enjoys sorting through forty listings. We keep it simple: one trusted contractor per category, per community — checked, exclusive, and clearly labeled. And if a category doesn't have anyone yet, we say so.

OpenRoofing · Herons Glen

This is what an unsold category looks like on a community guide. No contractor holds it, so we say so — we never imply a match exists when it doesn't.

Corrections

Corrections

Every community page has a “report a correction” link. Facts carry the date we checked them. When we're wrong, we fix it and log it.
