Questions

How long does advertising run? Featured cafés and banners run per month; longer periods are possible. A sponsored guide stays online permanently.

Can I cancel anytime? Yes. You pay per month in advance; when you stop, your placement ends after the paid month.

What do you need from me? Featured café: nothing, we use your existing listing. Banner: two images (1200 × 300 px and 800 × 400 px) and the link. Sponsored guide: we arrange a visit and take the photos ourselves.

Are paid placements labelled? Yes, always as "PR" or "Sponsored".

Do you guarantee visitors? No, nobody honestly can. You get a monthly report (page visits or banner clicks), so you can see what it brings.

Can any business advertise? Advertising is subject to approval. We only accept businesses that fit the site and that we would recommend to our readers.
