Browse by county and region

Macomb County

Macomb County stretches northeast of Detroit and is defined by manufacturing, big residential subdivisions and long commercial corridors. Warren and Sterling Heights, Michigan's third- and fourth-largest cities, are both here, together forming one of the state's largest concentrations of industrial employment.

2 guides

Oakland County

Oakland County sits north and northwest of Detroit and holds more of the network's guides than any other county. It runs from dense, walkable downtowns like Royal Oak, Ferndale, Clawson and Berkley through the upscale retail districts of Birmingham, Troy and Northville to the large park-rich suburbs of Farmington Hills, Southfield, Novi and Rochester Hills.

13 guides

Wayne County

Wayne County contains Detroit itself along with Dearborn, the lakefront Grosse Pointe communities to the east and the western suburbs of Livonia, Plymouth and Northville. It is the most populous county in Michigan and the most varied: a major American city, historic lakeshore neighborhoods, and post-war suburbs all within the same county lines.

Frequently asked questions

What is Michigan City Guides?
Michigan City Guides is the statewide hub for a network of independent local city-guide websites. Each city in the network has its own guide on its own domain, and this site introduces the network, links to every guide, and handles advertising across all of them.
Is Michigan City Guides a business directory?
No. The listings live on the individual city guides. This site is the parent hub: it explains the network, provides a city-by-city overview, and is where businesses arrange advertising across multiple cities at once.
How many cities are in the network?
23 guides covering cities across Metro Detroit, from Detroit and Grand Rapids to smaller communities like Clawson and Berkley.
How do I get my business listed?
Use the Add Your Business page. Tell us your business name, city and category, and we'll route your submission to the right city guide in the network.
Can I advertise across more than one city?
Yes. Multi-city packages and network-wide placements are the main reason this hub exists. The Advertise page covers featured placements, category sponsorships and full-network campaigns.
Are the city guides run separately?
Each guide is its own website on its own domain with locally focused content. Michigan City Guides is the shared parent that connects them and coordinates advertising across the network.
