Exact counts from our own database and first-party analytics, updated hourly. A “visit” is one browsing session (30-minute window); it is not a unique-person count, and traffic from our own team is not separated out.

Four different things you can buy

They're separate on purpose — you don't need the later ones to use the earlier ones.

  1. 1

    Free listing

    Your page on the directory, in search and on the map. No card, no expiry.

    Free

  2. 2

    Pro upgrade

    Photo gallery, lead form, verified badge and owner analytics on an existing listing.

    from $12 /mo

  3. 3

    Paid placement

    Featured boost or a sponsored city slot that puts you above the normal results.

    from $9 for 30 days

  4. 4

    Banner & newsletter

    Sitewide banner window, or a mention in the next community newsletter.

    from $99 one-time

Pro upgrades, by category

Prices differ per category because the audiences and the value differ. Monthly or annual, cancel anytime.

Listing itself stays free in every category — Pro is an upgrade, not an entry fee.

Paid placements

Prices come straight from our live price list, shown in USD. You'll see the exact amount again in checkout before paying.

Featured boost

Pins one listing to the top of its category page and its city page, with a Featured badge.

  • Featured badge on the card
  • Views and clicks in your dashboard

Sponsored city slot

One advertiser holds the top sponsor position on a single city page, for one category.

$15 /mo

  • Your logo, blurb and link
  • Monthly or annual
  • Released back to the pool if you cancel

Sitewide banner

Your banner runs in the strip pinned to the bottom of the screen, sitewide, for a fixed window.

Newsletter mention

A mention with your copy and link in the next community newsletter we send.

  • Send date confirmed in advance
  • Good for launches and events
  • We don't share subscriber data

Buying for a listing you already own? Start the purchase from your dashboard and pick the listing first, so the boost attaches to the right page. Don't have a listing yet? Create the free listing first — it takes a couple of minutes and paid placement needs something to point at.

How a paid placement actually launches

  1. 1

    Pick the listing

    Choose which of your listings the placement is for. New here? Create the free listing first.

  2. 2

    Pay by card

    Secure card checkout. You'll see the exact amount and currency before confirming.

  3. 3

    Send creative if needed

    Banners and newsletter mentions need an image or copy from you. We review it and come back if anything needs a change.

  4. 4

    It goes live

    Featured boosts and sponsored slots switch on as soon as payment confirms. Banners and newsletter mentions start once we've reviewed the creative and agreed a date with you.

Questions advertisers ask

Is a listing free?+

Yes. Every category — circles, teachers, schools, shops, retreats, facilitators — can be listed free, with no card required. Paid options only add placement and profile features on top of a free listing.

What's a recurring charge and what's one-time?+

Pro plans and sponsored city slots are subscriptions billed monthly or annually until you cancel. Featured boosts, sitewide banners and newsletter mentions are one-time purchases for a fixed window (for example 30 days) and do not auto-renew.

Where exactly does each placement appear?+

A featured boost pins your listing to the top of its category page and its city page with a Featured badge. A sponsored city slot puts one advertiser at the top of a single city page for one category. A sitewide banner runs in the banner strip pinned to the bottom of the screen, on every page of the site. A newsletter mention is placed in the next community newsletter; we don't publish on a fixed schedule, so we agree the send date with you before it runs.

Who makes the creative?+

You supply the image and the link for banners, and the text for newsletter mentions. We review every creative before it goes live and will ask for a change if it doesn't fit the site — nothing runs unreviewed.

Can I cancel?+

Subscriptions can be cancelled anytime from the billing portal; you keep access until the end of the period you've paid for. One-time placements run out their window and simply stop.

How do I know it's working?+

Your dashboard shows views and clicks on your listing, plus any inquiries sent through the lead form. We report what we can measure on our own site; we can't see what happens after someone clicks through to you.

Do you guarantee leads, bookings or a Google ranking?+

No. We sell placement on this site, not outcomes. Anyone guaranteeing rankings or a number of leads is guessing.

Who do I contact?+

Email hello@drumcircledirectory.com. A person reads every message and will answer you directly.
