Contractor listing plans

Sponsored listing

The widest service area, the largest gallery, and the top of the paid order.

For a company covering several metros from one office, whose service area and portfolio do not fit inside the plan below.

What your listing looks like on Sponsored

These are the real result cards the directory renders, shown here with an example company. Same business, same services, same city — the only difference between them is the plan.

Paid listings may include priority placement, not an endorsement.

What Sponsored adds over Featured

Every difference between the two plans, and what each one actually means. Nothing here is written by hand — it is read from the same source as the comparison table, so it cannot describe a limit the product no longer has.

  • Directory categories you can carry

    From Up to 10up to Up to 14

    Each category places your listing on that category's landing page, plus the city and state pages beneath it.

  • Cities beyond your home city

    From 5up to 8

    Factual coverage, not keyword reach — add only the cities you genuinely work in. Your home city is always included and never counts against the cap.

  • Total cities your listing appears in

    From 6up to 9

    Home city plus the served cities your plan allows.

  • Of those, how many you are promoted in

    From 2up to 3

    Declaring a city puts you on its page. Being promoted in it puts you at the top, in the labelled sponsored strip. The two numbers are different on purpose — see Placement.

  • Project photos published

    From Up to 40up to Up to 60

    Shown as a gallery on your profile and on any local city pages you have.

  • Cities you are promoted in

    From 2 — home city plus 1 you chooseup to 3 — home city plus 2 you choose

    Promoted means two things together: a card in the labelled sponsored strip at the top of that city's page, and first position in its results. Your home city is always one of them and never counts against the total. Everywhere else you serve, you still appear — you just rank on your merits like everyone else.

  • Position in directory results

    From Top of 2 citiesup to Top of 3 cities

    Inside a city you are promoted in, you sort above the standard roster. Outside it, and on state and category pages, rosters sort by tier, then by claimed, reviewed, and alphabetical order.

  • Featured strip on category landing pages

    From Yesup to Yes — first card

    Up to three listings appear in a labelled strip above the standard roster, on page one only. Page two onward stays purely organic. Sponsored takes the first card.

  • Sponsored row on state pages and the homepage

    From Not includedup to Included

    A labelled sponsor placement above the roster on your state's page and in the rotating row on the homepage — the two surfaces above the city level, which no other tier appears on.

  • Written company spotlight

    From Not includedup to Yes — one on signup

    One company profile, written and published as a resource page on the directory and linked to your listing, when your subscription starts.

  • Monthly price

    From $99/monthup to $149/month

    Billed monthly, cancel any time before renewal.

  • Annual price

    From $990/yearup to $1,490/year

    Two months' worth cheaper than paying monthly across a year.

Questions about Sponsored

How is Sponsored different from Featured?

Room, mostly. Sponsored includes everything Featured does and then raises the caps: more service categories, more served cities, and a larger project gallery. It also sits at the top of the paid order where more than one paid listing competes for the same page. If your service area and portfolio fit comfortably inside Featured, Featured is the right plan and we would rather you stayed on it.

I have offices in several metros. Is Sponsored the right plan?

Not necessarily. The directory keeps one listing per office, because each city is a real place somebody searches from and the crew that turns up is the local branch. Several offices usually means several listings rather than one wide plan. Get in touch and we will quote the group directly rather than selling you a plan per office.

Upgrade to Sponsored

$149 per month, or $1,490/year. Billed through Stripe, and you can cancel any time from your dashboard before the next renewal. Cancelling reverts the listing to Basic — it is never unpublished.

Paid placement: Paid placement affects visibility within The Pavement Directory but does not represent endorsement, certification, verification of workmanship, or guarantee of contractor quality.
