Questions

What owners ask before signing up

How long until my listing is live?

Once Stripe confirms payment, we review your profile for accuracy — usually within 24 hours. As soon as it's approved, your pin goes up on the map and your profile page is indexed by Google.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Go to your dashboard → Subscription → Manage billing. It opens the Stripe customer portal where you can cancel, pause, or switch plans. When a subscription lapses your listing auto-hides — no admin involvement.

What if I don't have a website?

That's fine. Your profile page on our domain effectively becomes your website — hero image, bio, contact info, socials, hours, map link, and a big Call button. Lots of owners use us as their primary web presence.

Can I upgrade from Basic to Featured later?

Yep. Use the Stripe customer portal from your dashboard to switch plans. Your existing profile, photos, and location tags carry over instantly. The gold "Featured Partner" badge appears the moment Stripe confirms the change.

Where exactly does my listing appear?

Three places: (1) the main Businesses map, (2) every lake and town page where your location qualifies (via the geo-tag rules), and (3) your own URL at /businesses/your-slug.

How do leads reach me?

Directly. Your profile shows your phone, email, website, and social links. We don't intermediate or take a cut on leads — customers contact you through whatever method you prefer.

Ready to show up where buyers are already looking?

Every day, cabin owners and lake visitors are searching for restaurants, marinas, and services around their favorite Minnesota lakes. Make sure your name is on the map before someone else's is.
