Advertising formats
Featured placement
Your restaurant appears at the top of relevant browse and search results, clearly marked as featured. You show up first when diners are deciding — without changing how anyone else is ranked.
Homepage spotlight
A rotating spotlight on the city homepage: your name, cuisine, a featured dish, and a direct link to your menu. Prime real estate for new openings and seasonal menus.
Specials promotion
Boost a coupon, happy hour, or seasonal special to the top of the Specials page for its category, with extended visibility dates.
Banner placements
Tasteful banner placements on high-traffic pages — the directory, Open Now, and search results. Local businesses only; no pop-ups, no autoplay, no nonsense.
Our ground rules
- Ads are always labeled. Sponsored placements are clearly marked — never disguised as editorial content.
- Ads never touch reviews. Advertising can’t buy, hide, or boost a review, and it never changes a restaurant’s rating.
- Listings stay free. A restaurant never has to advertise to be in the directory, and non-advertisers are never penalized in rankings.
- Local businesses first. We prioritize restaurants and local businesses over national chains.
