Is it really free? What's the catch?
Yes, genuinely. The free plan is free forever — no time limits, no hidden fees, no required credit card. We make money from Premium subscriptions, not from charging for basic listings.
Can I add a business that isn't listed yet?
Yes. If your business doesn't appear in search, use the suggest a place form. Once it's approved and added to the directory, you can claim it.
Can I cancel Premium at any time?
