Be a guest
Be the pro your neighbors hear first.
One in-person conversation with Ranger becomes a full episode of South of SF, the complete video of your interview, and a permanent listing in the Find a Pro directory, linked straight to your website.
What you get
Not an ad. A conversation that keeps working.
Ads stop the day you stop paying. An episode keeps introducing you for as long as the show is live, in your own voice, to people who live where you work.
Your full episode
A complete South of SF episode built around you and your business, recorded in person with Ranger and published on the show.
The full video
The complete video of your conversation, delivered to you. Post it on your website, your socials, your Google profile. It’s yours to keep and use.
A directory listing that links to you
Your episode joins the Find a Pro directory with a direct link to your website, so a listener is one click from becoming a customer.
Trust before the first call
Customers hear how you think, how you talk, and how you treat people, before they ever dial. That’s the head start no directory ad can buy.
Is it a fit?
Who this is for, and who it isn’t
A good fit
- You own or run a business that serves Peninsula customers, from South San Francisco down the Peninsula
- Your work depends on trust: homes, money, family, health, or big decisions
- You’re happy to talk like a person, not read a script
- You want an asset you can link to for years, not a one-week ad
Not a fit
- Your customers aren’t on the Peninsula
- You want a scripted commercial or a hard sales pitch
- You’re looking for guaranteed leads or sales (nobody honest can promise that)
- You don’t want your appearance disclosed as a featured guest spot

Questions
Before you ask
Is this just an ad?
No. It’s a featured guest appearance, and it’s disclosed as one, but the episode itself is a real, unscripted interview. Ranger asks the same questions he asks every guest, including the hard ones. That honesty is exactly why listeners trust it, and why it works.
What do I get for $499?
Three things: your full episode published on South of SF, the complete video recording of your conversation to keep and use anywhere, and a listing in the Find a Pro directory with your episode and a direct link to your website.
Who do I pay, and what does it cover?
The $499 is paid to Expert Frequency, Ranger’s podcast production company. It covers recording, production, publishing, your directory listing, and delivery of your episode and video files.
Can I use the video on my own channels?
Yes. The full video content is yours to keep and use: your website, social media, email signature, wherever it helps people get to know you.
When will my episode air?
Scheduling happens at booking, and you’ll know your publish date before we record. Episodes are released on the show’s regular schedule.
Will this get me customers?
No honest person can guarantee that, and we won’t. What it does is make sure that when a Peninsula neighbor hears your name, they can listen to you for twenty minutes and decide you’re their kind of pro before they call. Guests stay listed in the directory, so the episode keeps working long after release day.
Apply for your guest spot
Tell us who you are and what you do. Ranger reviews every application personally, and you’ll hear back either way. No payment until your spot is confirmed.
