A better position. The same honest guide.
- Placement above standard results on relevant directory, category, and location pages.
- Your photo, description, and a direct route to your business profile.
- Clearly labeled “Sponsored listing” so readers know what’s paid.
- Up to three sponsored businesses shown at a time, rotating daily when more qualify.
Search filters still apply. Sponsorship doesn’t buy an editorial recommendation, a higher review score, or guaranteed traffic. Homepage placement is not included.
From hello to featured
Three small steps.
A person reviews your business. Square handles the payment. We take care of the placement.
- 01 / Say hello
Tell us about your business.
Send your business details and the area you serve. We check the fit and confirm placement details by email.
- 02 / Make it official
Pay securely with Square.
After approval, we email a monthly payment link. You review the recurring charge and authorize payment on Square.
- 03 / Meet more locals
We switch on your spotlight.
Once payment is verified, we activate the listing and email you when it’s live. Submitting a form does not start a subscription.
Good to know
No fine-print maze.
A few things to know before you get started.
Can I still get listed for free?
Yes. Basic listings remain free and subject to review. Paying is optional and only adds sponsored visibility. Request a free listing.
Where will my listing appear?
In a separate sponsored section above standard results when your business matches the page or search. Up to three sponsors appear per page; the selection rotates daily when there are more. Your exact position is not guaranteed.
How does monthly billing work?
Square bills monthly after you authorize the recurring payment. We verify payments and manage placement manually. Your approval email will confirm the listing and launch details before you pay.
How do I cancel?
Use our contact form before your next renewal to request cancellation. We’ll confirm when recurring billing is stopped in Square. Your placement runs through the paid period; your free listing can remain.
Will this guarantee customers?
No. This is a visibility placement, not a promise of impressions, clicks, leads, or sales. We keep paid placement separate from editorial picks and business ratings.
