Home placement

Home Spotlight

Coming soon

Eligible sponsors will share prominent positions in the "Popular Near You" home row on a daily rotation. Placement is not guaranteed on every visit or every day.

  • Prominent home-screen positions
  • Daily rotation in your metro
  • Visibility when your listing is in rotation
  • Subscription terms shown before purchase

Rates are set per market and shown at checkout

Category Sponsor

Coming soon

Appear at the top of Explore search results when someone browses or searches your category. Never more than two sponsors per metro/category, and your slot is held for the whole billing period rather than rotated.

  • Top of matching category search results
  • Never more than two per metro/category
  • Held all billing period, never rotated
  • Subscription terms shown before purchase

Rates are set per market and shown at checkout

All placements are labelled "Sponsored" in the app. Payment does not affect verification status — Black ownership verification is independent of any commercial relationship. Future sponsorships will open one market at a time, with rates set per market. After launch, claim your listing for free. Eligible owners with Offers & Updates email enabled can receive a market-opening announcement. Placement does not guarantee views, clicks, or sales.

How it works

1

Start with a free listing

When the app launches, submit or claim your business. Ownership claims are reviewed before owner-management access is granted.

2

Watch for your market to open

Paid sales are closed for now. Eligible claimed owners who enable Offers & Updates email can receive a market-opening announcement. Plans, availability, rates, and subscription terms will be shown before purchase.

3

Choose eligible sponsored visibility

Once available, Home Spotlight will rotate in the home row, while Category Sponsor will hold a position in matching category results. Sponsored cards are clearly labelled; buying placement does not change ownership verification.
