What are the ways for a company to partner with 7summits.com?

There are two kinds of partner: expedition operators, whose first plans have fixed prices, and brands and organisations, whose partnerships are agreed in conversation. Whatever the plan, our verdicts, rankings and comparisons are never for sale, and a partner is always shown as a partner.

Expedition Operators

Every company that guides the 7 summits is listed free, and a correction costs nothing. Above that are four steps:

• Verified Operator, €290 (about $324) a year: you claim your listing and manage its text, photos, prices and enquiries yourself.
• Climbing Partner, €890 (about $994) a year: your company also appears on the guide pages of the one or two peaks you choose.
• Category Partner, from €2,228 (about $2,488) to €8,849 (about $9,880) a year depending on the mountain: the official partner title for a mountain, named on every page about it. At most three companies per mountain.
• Official site partner, price on request: named on every page of the site, on the About page and in every newsletter. Three places in total.

All four start from the claim form on the plans for operators page. Verified Operator and Climbing Partner are paid online once we have checked the claim; a Category or site partnership is agreed with you.

Brands and organisations

Insurers, rescue services, gear makers and communications companies can take a labelled card on the guide pages where the product genuinely helps, commission an article that we edit and mark as sponsored, sponsor the newsletter, or become the title partner of a named series. A brand can also become one of the official site partners above, named on every page of the site, on the About page and in every newsletter. There is no price list: write to us from the brands page.

How a claim works, step by step, is in the FAQ on claiming a listing.
