Put Your Business in Front of 10,000+ UP Explorers Every Year
ShopUpperMI.com is where travelers plan their Upper Peninsula adventures. We connect them to local restaurants, shops, campgrounds, and attractions, and your business belongs in the mix.
If They Can’t Find You Online, They’re Going Somewhere Else
Over 80% of travelers research destinations and businesses online before they ever arrive. When someone is driving up to Pictured Rocks, looking for a place to eat in Marquette, or planning a stay in the Keweenaw, the first place they look is their phone.
If your business isn’t showing up in local directories, search engines, and maps, you’re invisible to the exact customers who are actively looking for you. An online presence isn’t optional anymore. It’s the front door to your business.
Travelers Search Before They Go
Most visitors plan their itinerary days or weeks in advance. A listing on ShopUpperMI puts your business into that planning process.
Near Me Searches Are Growing
Our built-in Near Me feature serves businesses to visitors based on their exact GPS location, so they find you right when they’re ready to spend.
Local Trust, Local Dollars
ShopUpperMI is a dedicated UP resource. Visitors trust it because it’s curated and local, and that trust transfers to every business they discover here.
Your Business, Right Where People Are Looking
A ShopUpperMI directory listing puts your business in front of visitors who are actively searching for exactly what you offer, by category, by city, and by proximity. It’s not advertising in the dark. It’s showing up when intent is highest.
Category and City Pages
Your listing appears on category pages (Restaurants, Campgrounds, Gifts, and more) and city destination pages visited by thousands of travelers planning their UP trips.
Geolocation Near Me Feature
Our GPS-powered Near Me section surfaces your listing to visitors who are physically close to you and looking for what you offer right now.
SEO Boost for Your Website
Every listing includes a link to your website. Directory backlinks from established sites help improve your rankings in Google and bring in even more organic traffic.

Don’t Have a Website Yet?
ShopUpperMI.com started with a love of the Upper Peninsula. Founders Josh and Jeremiah are downstate Michigan guys who kept making the drive north, discovering amazing local restaurants, shops, and hidden gems that were nearly impossible to find online. They built this site so more people could find the UP places they love.
As founders of 120 Web Design, they also help small businesses get a real online presence, fast and affordable. If you don’t have a website yet, or yours needs a fresh look, they’d love to help a fellow UP business shine.
