Business FAQ

What does Featured include?+

Featured includes a badge, top category and neighborhood placement, a full profile with photos, menu or booking links, video, happy hours and deals, a write-up built for Google and AI answers, newsletter and events-page inclusion, and a monthly report of views and clicks. Your page shows only your business. Details and media are included when supplied and verified; placement and a write-up do not guarantee search rankings or traffic.

How does the founding rate work?+

The founding rate is $29/month and stays locked as long as you stay subscribed. You can also lock in $290/year, with two months free. The regular price is going up to $49/month soon. Sending a request does not reserve a founding spot; we confirm availability when setting you up.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes. Monthly Featured is month to month and you can cancel anytime. Yearly Featured is billed annually, with two months free.

How fast does my listing go live?+

We'll reach out within one business day to get you set up. Your listing goes live after we verify your business details and receive the information and media for your profile. We'll confirm the timing with you.

What is an Astoria Connect Blast?+

A Blast is a $197 one-time Instagram promotion: a custom graphic, or your own, posted permanently to @astoriaconnect, plus Story reshares tagging other local Astoria spots. Other businesses choose whether to reshare.

Is the free listing really free?+

Yes, forever. It includes a basic Astoria Guide profile with your name, address, hours, links and one photo, plus event submissions. Hours, links and photos appear when supplied and verified. Event submissions are reviewed before publication.
