Patch recently introduced a brand new product that allows local businesses to feature and highlight their businesses quickly and easily. Click here to start creating a featured business ad now.
1. Click in the Post box on the homepage of your local Patch homepage. Navigate over the far right tab that says "Business Listing", or click here.
2. Fill out the fields in the form including your business name, a headline for the featured business tile, a description of your business, and contact information.
Here is an example of what you might want to write:
3. Upload some photos to make your post more eye catching! Your header image will appear when a Patch reader clicks on your business and will appear at the top of your business listing. Your image will show on all of the tiles for your business across Patch and should be your business logo or other eye catching image.
4. Once you're satisfied with the information you've input, click the green Next button. Don't worry about this being perfect, you can always go back and edit your post whenever you need to after publishing.
5. Now it's time to determine which Patch communities you want your business featured on. You must feature your business in your home Patch community, so that area will be automatically selected. The base price is $79/month for featuring in your home community, and an additional $79/month for each additional community you select.
6. After you are satisfied with the communities you've selected, click the green "Next" button. You will pay via credit or debit card on this page. Please note that this is a monthly subscription to have your business featured, and the payment will renew each month. If you would like to cancel the subscription at any time, follow these instructions.
7. After entering payment information, click "Start subscription." Your ad will be live in every community you selected to be featured in and will be visible on the home page, at the very top of the Local Marketplace page, and will also be featured in our daily newsletters.
