Rules
Sponsored places
Where a sponsored place appears, the rules that keep it apart from what is earned, and how booking one works.
Where they appear
- Category pages
- The top of a category, such as SEO or web development, where businesses compare providers for that kind of work.
- City pages
- The top of a category in one city, such as SEO in Pune.
- Search
- The top of the directory when a business browses that category, or that category in that city.
Never on a Top 10 list, and never in answers from AI assistants.
The rules
- Every sponsored place says "Sponsored" on the card.
- At most 3 sponsored places on a page on any day, and their order changes daily.
- Your profile must already belong on the page: a matching service, and the city for a city page.
- Reviews, ratings, verification decisions and Top 10 lists are never sold and never change because someone paid.
- Booked for fixed dates, up to 366 days at a time, paid in advance and never renewed automatically.
- A suspended or private profile does not show, even during a paid booking.
The full terms, including refunds, are in Terms.
Booking
- Ask for a place from Advertise: the categories and cities you want, and when.
- The team checks there is a free place and sends an offer to your dashboard: page, dates and price.
- Accept and pay by UPI or card. The place goes live on its start date and stops on its end date.
- Your dashboard shows how many times your place was seen and how many clicks it got.
Rates depend on the page and the dates, and are given in each offer.
