Get your business in front of Cape Town’s family crowd
Cape Town with Kids is where parents go to discover what to do, where to eat, and where to celebrate. If families are your people, we should talk.
Why Cape Town with Kids?
A targeted audience that’s already looking for you
We’re not a general listings site. Every person who finds your business through Cape Town with Kids is a parent actively searching for family-friendly things to do, eat, and experience in the city. That’s a pretty good crowd to be in front of.
Our readers are in planning mode — looking for birthday venues, weekend outings, holiday activities, and family dining. They’re ready to spend.
Our audience is Cape Town-based parents, but we’re also a go-to resource for families travelling to the city — from elsewhere in South Africa and abroad. Your listing gets seen by locals planning a weekend out and tourists looking for the best spots to take their kids.
Our higher tiers include real marketing — newsletter features, Instagram posts, and editorial articles that tell your story in our voice to our audience.
Paid listings include a dofollow backlink to your website — a small thing that search engines notice, especially on a niche site with genuine traffic.

Questions
The stuff people usually ask
Can I start free and upgrade later?
Absolutely. Claim your free Be Seen listing anytime and upgrade to a paid tier whenever you’re ready. Your listing info carries over — no starting from scratch.
Is there a contract or minimum term?
Paid listings are billed monthly with no lock-in. You can cancel at any time — though most businesses stick around once they see the traffic coming in.
What counts as a “newsletter mention” or “social media feature”?
A newsletter mention is a dedicated callout in our email to subscribers — your business name, a short description, and a link. A social media feature is a post on our Instagram and/or Facebook page that highlights your business to our following.
What is the editorial article for Partner listings?
Once a year we write and publish a proper feature article about your business on capetownwithkids.com — in our editorial voice, telling your story to our readers. It lives on the site permanently and is shared across our social channels.
Do I need to be in Cape Town?
We cover the Western Cape broadly, so businesses across the region are welcome — not just central Cape Town. If your venue or service is relevant to Cape Town families, you’re a good fit.
