Simple, transparent, no surprises.
Everything that governs Featured Placements on Ate Local, spelled out plainly.
- Rule 01Fixed prices per city
Every city configures its own monthly, quarterly, and annual reservation price. The price is the same for all eight placements unless our team sets a per-placement override, in which case it's shown on that placement's card.
- Rule 02Three billing terms
Reserve Monthly (30 days), Reserve Quarterly (90 days), or Reserve Annually (365 days). Longer terms include a small city-configured discount.
- Rule 03Auto-renewing subscription
Your reservation renews automatically at the same rate on the same cadence until you cancel. All billing runs through Stripe.
- Rule 04Guaranteed placement
Once you've reserved a placement, it's yours for the full term at the price you paid. The price is fixed for the entire term.
- Rule 05Featured Business status
Reserved placements are shown as Featured Businesses across Ate Local — city pages, ZIP pages, search results, and SEO landing pages.
- Rule 06Cancel anytime
Cancel from your business dashboard or the Stripe billing portal. Your placement stays live until the end of the current billing period, then reopens for another business.
- Rule 07Waitlist
If the placement you want is already reserved, join the waitlist. When it — or another placement in the same city — becomes available, we notify the waitlist in order.
- Rule 08Refunds
Reservations are billed in advance. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current period — no partial refunds. If a placement is removed for a policy violation, the remaining period is refunded to your card.
- Rule 09Editing your listing
Business name, description, logo, category, and Featured Offer are editable at any time from your business dashboard during your reservation.
Eight placements per city. Monthly, quarterly, or annual. Cancel anytime.
