Frequently asked questions

Can I stay on the free plan?
Yes. You can maintain a free listing for as long as you like and keep a credible local presence — there is no obligation to upgrade. You can move up to a paid plan whenever you want greater visibility.
Can I choose monthly or annual billing?
Yes. Both monthly and annual billing are available for the paid plans, and you choose your billing period when you set up your paid listing.
Can I change plans later?
Yes. You can move between plans as your business needs change. Plan changes are handled with help from our team at launch, so just get in touch and we will sort it out for you.
Are marketing services included?
No. Buy Local plans improve your presence and exposure within the platform. Hands-on marketing services are delivered separately by Exposure by Design and are not included in Spotlight or Local Leader.
What happens if I cancel?
You can cancel a paid plan and return to a free listing so your business stays in the directory. Cancellations are handled with help from our team at launch — contact us and we will take care of it.
