This innovative initiative, led by founder Ryan Rydell, offers a unique solution to help small businesses increase their visibility and customer engagement through a comprehensive online directory and marketing resource.
A Vision Born from Experience
Ryan Rydell, a seasoned entrepreneur and marketing expert, founded My City Guide with a clear vision: to provide a valuable resource for local businesses that fosters community engagement and economic growth.

My City Guide’s innovative approach and community focus have not gone unnoticed.
