Why should my business post here?
Your post gets its own page with its own address, and it stays put — people can still find it years from now, long after a social media post would have vanished.
That page goes to the search engines the moment you publish, and it is linked from the site's sections and from other members' pages, so customers keep finding new paths to it.
Each post is a standalone URL with schema.org markup, submitted through IndexNow at publish, and interlinked through the sitemap and the network's internal links.
How do people find my post?
The same way you find things yourself — they type what they need into a search engine, and your page comes up with its details showing.
Your post is pushed to the search indexes the moment it goes live, and because this site covers one place or one subject, search engines already trust it for exactly that kind of search.
IndexNow notifies Bing and Yandex at publish time, and the single-topic domain gives every page strong topical relevance for local and subject queries.
What do other members do for my post?
Your neighbours' pages point to yours, and your page points to theirs — everyone on the site helps everyone else get noticed.
Every member's contact card links to their listings, and the directory, the events calendar, and the sister sites link to one another, so your post receives visitors from the whole network, not just from people who already know you.
The platform maintains an internal link graph — member cards, cross-module links, and cross-site links — that distributes crawl attention and referral traffic to every page.
How do I know my post is working?
Open your dashboard any time and you can see how many people looked at your post and which town they were in.
Views, where visitors came from, and city-level locations tell you plainly whether real customers are reaching you — so you can decide what to post next based on what worked.
Per-post counters record views, referrers, and GeoLite2 city-level geolocation, and your dashboard reads those same tables directly — measurements, not estimates.
What does featured placement mean?
Your post sits at the very top of its section with a badge for 30 days, and only three posts can hold that spot at one time.
Because only three featured places exist per category, yours keeps standing out for the whole month — you are never one of hundreds competing for the same glance.
Featured is a product with category_cap = 3, enforced again at checkout with a sold-out check, granting 30 days of top-of-category placement with a badge.
How much does it cost?
You see the full price before you publish, and that is all you pay — no percentages, no extras appearing later.
Flat rates: listings, events, and directory entries from $60 for 30 days; featured placement $90; job postings $120; homepage showcase $150 — you can compare that dollar for dollar with what the same visibility costs elsewhere.
Prices are flat fees per product with defined durations, resolved server-side at checkout; there is no revenue share and no per-click or per-ticket metering.
