Where your ads and coupons appear
Every paid run buys the same set of places. What your membership changes is who gets first pick of them.
The row
Featured and Sponsored share the same four boxes
They are not different locations. Every page carries one row of four, and Featured fills it first.
Box 1
Featured
Box 2
Featured
Box 3
Featured
Box 4
Sponsored
A Sponsored ad never sits above a Featured one, and a box Featured has not filled goes to Sponsored rather than sitting empty. Nothing is ever sold out: when more ads are running than there are boxes they rotate, so the page reshuffles on every visit and every paid run gets seen. There is no bidding and no auction — you cannot pay more to outrank a neighbour.
Placement
The five places that row appears
One run, bought once, shows up in all of these — in your trade, in your city.
Your category page
“Plumbing in Prosper” — the row sits above the list of businesses.
Your city page
Above every category, where a visitor who has not picked a trade yet still sees it.
The section tab
The “Home Services Ads” tab beside the section heading on your city page.
Other businesses’ pages
Three boxes on every other page in your trade and town. Never your own.
Local offers & coupons
The two pages people open specifically to be sold to.
Your own page does not show your own ad — it shows other businesses in your trade. Somebody reading a plumber's page is already in the market for a plumber, which is exactly why those three boxes on other pages are worth having.
Two kinds
Offers and coupons
Both are the same paid square — same $5 a day, same boxes, same rotation. They answer different questions, so they get different pages.
An offer
“We have a deal on.” A seasonal promotion, a discount for seniors, veterans or first responders, a first-visit price.
Runs in all five places above, and lists on Local offers.
Every plan, Free included, at $5 a day.
A coupon
“Bring this in and get it.” Something a customer shows at the counter or mentions when they book.
Runs in all five places above, and gets its own page — Local coupons — which people can link, share and bookmark.
Featured plan only.
Ads cost $5 a day on every plan, in runs of 5, 10, 15 or 30 days. Coupons are part of Featured.
See pricingPaid placement is always labelled Featured or Sponsored wherever it appears, and it never changes where a business sits in the ranked list below it — that list is ordered on reviews. See our advertising disclosure.
