For Valley Businesses
List your business
If you run a business in the Mission Valley, you belong in the directory. Restaurant, hardware store, dentist, plumber, gallery, lodge, accountant, ranch supply, brewery, daycare, dog groomer, anything.
Who can be listed
Three conditions, all of them inclusive by design.
Location
In the Mission Valley
Operates inside the Mission Valley: Polson, Pablo, Ronan, St. Ignatius, Charlo, Arlee, Big Arm / Dayton.
Service
Serves the valley
Paying customers, clients, patients, students, members, congregants, donors, or other local businesses. Commercial businesses, non-profits, churches, schools, professional offices, tribal enterprises. All eligible.
Presence
Stable operation
Storefront, regular schedule, established service area, or recognized physical or virtual operating address in the valley.
We don't list spam fronts, multi-level marketing recruiters, or businesses without verifiable presence in the valley. Everyone else is welcome.
What we'll need

Photos Three to ten high-quality images. We'll use the best as your hero shot.
If you don't have photos or hours, that's fine. We can list you without them and add them later. Many businesses on the directory launched with "call ahead" while we built out the rest.
How to submit
Two doors. Pick whichever is easier.
Door 1
Email us
listings@exploremissionvalley.com with the subject "New listing: [Your business name]." Send what you have; we'll follow up if anything is missing.
Open email →Door 2
Use the contact form
Drop a short note on the contact page and we'll reach out for the rest. Lower friction if you'd rather not email cold.
Go to contact →Listings typically go live within seven days of receipt.
Editing your listing
If something changes (hours, phone, photos, summer closures), email us and we'll update it. We don't charge for edits, ever. We don't have a self-service portal yet. That's on the roadmap.
Every listing gets a quarterly freshness check from us. If your contact info goes stale, we'll reach out before assuming the listing is dead.
One more thing
If you're a CSKT-affiliated business
Please flag that when you submit. We treat CSKT-related listings carefully per our editorial collaboration with the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. See the Land Acknowledgment page for context.
