FAQ

Common questions

How fast does my ad actually go live?

Instantly. The moment Stripe confirms your payment, your ad activates across the site — no manual approval, no waiting. You'll get an email with a link to your private sponsor dashboard within seconds.

Monthly plan vs credit pack — which is right for me?

Monthly plans are best for ongoing visibility with predictable costs, full analytics, and inclusion in our social content. Credit packs (from £15) are pay-as-you-go — perfect for testing zones, running a short campaign, or topping up around a busy season. You can also stack them: keep a monthly plan and buy extra credits for a push.

Can I edit my ad after it's live?

Yes. Your private sponsor dashboard lets you update copy, phone, logo, hours, links — anything. Changes go live within minutes. No support ticket needed.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your dashboard or by emailing us. No penalties, no notice period. You keep your ad live until the end of the billing period you've already paid for. Credit packs don't have a subscription to cancel.

How does annual billing save me 2 months?

Annual customers commit upfront, which helps us plan ad capacity ahead. We pass the saving back to you as 2 months free — same plan, same features, just 10 months of cost for 12 months of service.

How does the social media promotion work?

We post daily incident + traffic updates to TikTok (~23K followers), YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. Growth includes 1 monthly dedicated feature; Premium gets weekly features plus a branded sponsor tag on relevant posts. Bolt-on shoutouts are also available from £50.
