Frequently asked

Questions & answers

Do I need a credit card for the Starter free trial? +

How long does it take for my ad to go live? +
Ads are reviewed within 24 hours. Spotlight, Signature, and Premier tier ads receive priority review. You’ll receive an email confirmation once your ad is live.
Can I change my tier after signing up? +
Yes. You can upgrade at any time from your advertiser dashboard. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period.
What categories can I advertise in? +
We support all South Asian community business categories: restaurants, grocery, healthcare, legal, real estate, salons, tutoring, temples & cultural organizations, travel, and more. Contact us if you don’t see your category.
What is the difference between an ad and a free classified? +
Free classifieds are for individuals selling items, looking for housing, or posting community notices. Paid ad tiers (Starter and above) are for businesses looking to build ongoing brand presence with placements across the site.
