The sponsor spotlight
For a few seconds, your ad is the only thing on the page.

The sponsor message opens first, with one business on it. Sponsors take turns, and the story waits a few seconds behind it.
One tap brings them to you.
Your ad links straight to your website, menu or booking page. Readers who are not ready simply continue to the story.

Can I post about my business in the community feed?
Yes. An active sponsorship or advertising plan includes posts about your own business in the communities covered by your plan. Your posts and replies also display a Community Sponsor badge while your coverage is active. Share offers, business news, services and events. Sign in to the community with the email on your advertising account. Posts still follow our family-friendly, safety and anti-spam rules. A free directory listing alone does not include promotional posting.
Do I need an ad ready?
No. Create an ad with our tools or choose design help. Design and ad updates are included with your sponsorship.
How do I see my exact price?
Our plan builder shows current community rates, billing options, and bundle savings as you build your plan. No contact details or payment are required to view your options.
Can I choose more than one area?
Yes. Select individual community websites, combine regions, or choose the entire network. Your selections stay together as you explore.
Can I get a listing without advertising?
Yes. Choose a directory listing on our signup page, where current annual pricing and benefits are shown. Advertising subscriptions add ads and more visibility.
When does billing start?
Your subscription starts when you purchase. Complete your ad setup so your campaign can launch. Your account shows whether artwork is still needed, under review, or live.
Can I change my coverage?
Manage your subscription in your customer account. Review any immediate charge and your new recurring total before confirming an upgrade. You can cancel to stop future renewals.
Your next customer could be a neighbor.
