Listing grades

Every one of the 325 shops in the guide is listed free, forever — a grade only changes how the entry is printed and where it sits in the index. Here is the whole thing, line by line.

Done-for-you services · not a listing grade A small number of shops at a time

Grades change how your entry is printed here. They don’t follow you off the site. For owners who want the rest handled — the reviews, the Google listing, the posting — we run it as a separate service, by hand, the same way we verify entries.

Service I

Review management

Review requests to real customers after a visit, and written replies to what comes back — including the bad ones.

Service II

Google Business Profile

Hours, categories, photos and Q&A brought in line with the actual shop, then kept that way.

Service III

Social posting

A steady posting schedule written for your neighbourhood and your regulars.

Quoted per shop after a look at what you already have — we don’t print a price here we can’t stand behind for your shop, and none of it is bundled into a listing grade.
