Every business gets a full listing free, forever - photos, hours, contact details, the lot. Promotion is a completely optional extra for owners who want top placement and to see how many people their listing reaches. You never have to pay a penny.
Everything you need to be found - no card, no catch.
No card needed - free forever.
A boost for owners who want more reach - never required.
Choose which listing to promote from your dashboard.
Promotion is about being seen first and understanding your reach - never about locking features away.
Your listing sits at the top of its category and sub-category pages, above free listings, with a “Promoted” badge so it stands out.
A stats dashboard shows profile views over time, website and directions clicks, and contact reveals - so you can see exactly what promotion is doing for you.
Promotion only adds reach and insight. Every feature stays free - it’s about visibility, never unlocking the basics.
There’s room for up to 3 promoted businesses at the top of every category page, and slots are counted separately at each level - so your listing shows in the promoted spots on both its own sub-category and the broader category above it, competing only with the others on that page.
So a promoted takeaway always shows on the Takeaways page, but shares the busier Food & Drink page, where the 3 slots reshuffle daily. It keeps the directory useful for people searching, gives everyone a fair turn, and means no one can buy the top spot for good.
Back the directory and take a prominent, lasting slot on the homepage - helping smaller Manx businesses get found.
