Locals are already on CharlestonRanked. The Featured tier puts your business above the ranked list on your category page, on the homepage rail, on competitor detail pages, and across the site — with a clear Featured badge so visitors always know what they’re looking at.
Rankings stay locals-voted. Featured is a separate, clearly-labeled placement above the list — never disguised as editorial.
Your card runs in the sitewide Featured rail every visitor sees when they land on CharlestonRanked. Above the fold, with a Featured badge so trust stays intact.
Pinned above the editorial ranking on /charleston/[your-category]. The locals-voted list stays untouched — your placement is a separate, clearly-marked spot.
When visitors view a competitor in your category, your Featured card appears on their page. Nobody else in local does this — Yelp and Google won't surface competitors on competitor pages because it cannibalizes their ad inventory.
Replace the default hero image with your own. Premium magazine layout. Owner-uploaded, instant publish — no editorial queue.
Respond to reviewer comments directly. Your replies carry a Verified Owner badge — builds trust faster than any other signal on the page.
Wherever your business appears across CharlestonRanked — list rows, search results, related rails — a small badge marks you as the verified operator. Subtle, persistent, real.
Flat rate. Same price for a coffee shop on Coming Street or a country club on Daniel Island. Cancel any time from the Stripe Customer Portal — no phone calls, no contracts. First month fully refundable.
