Your dashboard shows the exact price for each city your business is in, the date it would renew and how many places are left, such as "2 of 3 Spotlights left in Raleigh", before you pay. Prices change only for new placements: a placement you hold keeps its price at renewal unless we tell you 38 days before.
What each placement includes
- Featured
- The top of your category in your city on the food and shopping lists, under a clear Featured label, with up to 25 deals at a time and boosted job posts. On the help lists it stands out with its label where it sits; help stays in order of distance, so it never moves ahead. Community groups and event hosts have no list of places to lead yet.
- $190, $290 or $490 a year, by market size. As many businesses as want it.
- Spotlight
- A place on the city page itself, labeled Sponsored, and turns in that metro's Friday edition, which carries up to 3 Spotlights a week.
- $650, $950 or $1,500 a year, by market size. Three per city.
- City Sponsor
- "The (city) guide, presented by" your business, at the top of the city's guide, with a line of your own words and a link to your website.
- $1,200, $2,400 or $6,000 a year, by market size. One per city.
- Coast Partner
- Placement along the whole coast for relief groups, schools and national brands.
- Set by conversation: write to [email protected].

How to buy a placement
- Claim your listing. It is free, and a person checks every claim.
- From your dashboard, choose the placement and the page it shows on: your town's, its county's or its metro's. A placement shows only on the page it is bought for. You see the price, the date it would renew and what is left.
- We check your listing's words against the rules for paid listings and tell you plainly what to change, before you pay.
- You pay on Stripe's checkout page, agreeing to the advertiser terms. Your placement switches on when the payment goes through, and we email you when it is live.
Masjids are always free and never buy a placement. In the Grand Strand, buy through Muslim Myrtle Beach.
Renewal and canceling, with no surprises
- A placement lasts one year and renews on the same date each year, unless you cancel. Your dashboard shows the price and the date it would renew before you pay.
- We email you 38 days before each renewal: that it renews automatically, which placement, the exact price, the charge date, and a one-click "Cancel renewal" button. About a week before the charge, a short reminder follows.
- Cancel in one click from your dashboard or from that email. You never need to call or write to us.
- Cancel within 7 days after any charge, whether you bought a placement, it renewed, or we charged the difference to the regular price, and we refund that charge in full, even if its renewal is already off. The placement then comes down.
- After those 7 days, canceling stops the next renewal. Your placement stays until the end of the year you paid for, and you can resume it until then.
- If a payment fails, your placement stays up for 7 days while the card is retried, and we email you a link to update it. After that it comes down, and a later successful payment brings it back.
- If we change our prices, you keep your price at renewal unless we tell you 38 days before.
You pay on Stripe's checkout page, and your card details never reach our server. Your card statement reads EAST COAST MUSLIM. The advertiser terms set out the rest.
