Free listings and promotion

Adding or claiming a business profile is free. Featured Business is an optional monthly subscription for approved, claimed listings. Standard listings remain searchable without it.

How featured treatment works

• every active Featured placement is labelled Sponsored, including complimentary placements where no payment was collected
• active Featured placement can affect result priority, but standard listings remain visible
• placement applies within matching directory results; postal searches remain ordered by distance, and no fixed first position is guaranteed
• sponsorship does not mean independent verification or endorsement by MassageFinder
• sponsorship does not bypass listing quality, eligibility, or publication review

Duration and payment

Paid Featured Business costs CAD $49 plus $6.37 Ontario HST, totalling $55.37 per billing month. It renews automatically each month and is not permanent. Cancel through your account before the next renewal to stop future charges. Placement continues until the end of the paid month, then the business keeps its free listing. Placement requires a successfully paid, active subscription.

Complimentary placements have a confirmed start and end date, normally 30 days. No card is required, and they do not automatically become paid subscriptions. A paid subscription requires a separate checkout; review the price and billing terms before paying. The same Sponsored label and placement rules apply to free and paid promotions.

How performance is measured

Owners can see aggregate listing views, website, booking-link and phone-link clicks, and sponsored appearances and profile clicks. Sponsored appearances require at least half the card to be visible for one second in an active browser tab. Each action is counted at most once per estimated visitor, listing, and UTC day. These are engagement signals, not verified customers, completed calls, or bookings. Tracking starts when enabled and does not reconstruct past activity.

What promotion does not change

Businesses keep their existing booking systems and remain responsible for their services, prices and appointments. Promotion does not change:

• the accuracy required of business information
• how customer reviews are moderated
• the independence of verification and trust indicators
• the listing quality and eligibility standards that continue to apply
