Listing always free
Be the place they pick at 6.52am.
When somebody sets tomorrow’s rule, they choose a venue from the list for their city. Advertising buys you position in that list — nothing more, and nothing that overrides distance.
Somebody chose a room to start their morning in. Advertising decides whether they saw yours.
Two placements. That is all.
No tiers, no bundles, no minimum spend. Prices are per city, per month, and exclude VAT.
Rotated position
4 PER CITY£250
per month + VAT · per city
You appear near the top of your city’s list, rotating evenly with the three other holders. Everyone gets a fair share of first position.
The sensible starting point. Four venues share the same visibility, so nobody is paying for an advantage over the others — just over the venues who bought nothing.
£1,000
per month + VAT · per city
One venue, top of the list, all month. Plus a second appearance further down the scroll, and your offer shown with it.
One slot per city and first refusal to renew while you hold it. When you give it up we offer it to the rotated holders before anyone else.
Monthly, or an annual commitment split across four quarterly instalments. Pay a year up front and you get two months free, matching what we give consumers. Invoiced 14 days net, and you keep the rate you joined at for as long as you hold the slot — even when the city moves up a tier.
Pricing rises with the city
Early is cheaper, permanently.
What you are buying is reach, so the rate steps up as a city grows. The rate you join at is the rate you keep while you hold the slot — a venue that took a prime position in Leeds at 3,000 users keeps that price at 30,000.

All prices exclude VAT. The first published price band is shown as an example — current city availability and the applicable price are confirmed before an agreement. These published bands do not establish a live city population.
What money cannot buy.
The rules that make the list worth appearing in. If paid position could override them, nobody would trust the list — and then the placement would be worth nothing to you.
Distance always wins
A paid placement can never push a nearer venue below a further one. If there is a café 200 metres away and you are two miles out, they appear above you whatever you paid.
It is always labelled
A paid position says so. We are not hiding it, because a list people suspect is rigged is worth nothing to advertise in.
No auction, at any tier
Flat monthly rates. An auction needs venue density to be fair, and with a handful per city it would produce absurd prices and reward exactly the behaviour the distance rule forbids.
Nobody is hidden
Every listed venue appears in the list. Advertising changes order, never inclusion — a free listing is never buried.
No user data attached
You are buying position in a list, not access to anyone. No targeting, no profiles, no names — and you still see only counts.

A worked example, not a promise
£1,000 against 104 illustrative arrivals
That is roughly £9.62 per illustrative verified arrival, and about 41p per illustrative appearance. An arrival does not prove a new customer, a purchase or repeat business.
These are made-up example figures, not measured results from Leeds or any other city. They do not predict your venue’s results or revenue. Assess a placement against verified reporting and your own business records.
Get listed first. Decide about this later.
Listing is free, subject to venue checks and rollout availability. Run it for a month, see what arrives without spending anything, and then work out whether a placement is worth buying. We would rather you decided that from your own figures.
