Quick answers for business owners
Do I have to run a discount or coupon?
No. The Why-Visit-Today highlight is optional — you can leave it blank or use it to promote anything: happy hour, live music, a seasonal menu, an event, or a discount if you'd like.
How much does it cost?
Claiming is always free. A Featured Placement is a fixed price per city, billed monthly, quarterly, or annually. Longer terms include a small discount.
Is my placement guaranteed for the full term?
Yes. Once you reserve a Featured Placement, it's yours for the full term at the price you paid. The price is fixed for the entire term.
How do I cancel?
Cancel any time from your business dashboard or the Stripe billing portal. Your placement stays live through the end of your current billing period.
Can I edit my listing later?
Yes — business name, logo, description, category, and your Why-Visit-Today line are all editable any time from your business dashboard.
Are reviews independent?
Yes. Ratings and reviews come from real diners and cannot be purchased. Featured Placement is disclosed on every card.
