Common questions
Will paying move my business up in the ranking below?
No. The Featured slot sits above the ranking and is clearly labeled as paid. The ranked list is sorted by real customer ratings and review counts, and it never changes for sponsors. That is the entire point of the site.
What if I don't have great Google photos?
We can use yours, your social photos, or shoot a small batch on a site visit. Magnolia Digital handles that side and the cost is folded into the first month.
How much does it cost?
$49 a month, or $497 a year (about two months off). Same price for every category, from donut shops to dentists. One Featured slot per category. The first sponsor in a category gets 60 days free on top of whatever billing they pick.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Monthly plans cancel any time with no termination fee. Yearly plans save you about two months and don't auto-renew unless you say so.
What does the Featured slot look like in practice?
Look at the top of Best Hair Salons in Ocean Springs. That is the layout every sponsor gets: hero photo, business name, blurb, link to your site, four thumbnail photos, lightbox on click.
