“I was paying $60 a lead on Angi and closing maybe 1 in 5. Switched to Featured on RatingsNearMe at $49 flat — I get 3–4 calls a week now and my actual cost per closed job dropped by 80%.”

“The transparency is what got me. They publish exactly how they rank businesses. I know what I'm paying for and I can see it working in my analytics dashboard every day.”

“I upgraded to Premium after my first month on Featured. The multi-city expansion alone was worth it — I'm now showing up in 3 cities I couldn't reach before.”

Yes. Your basic listing — including your business name, address, phone number, ratings, and customer reviews — is always free on RatingsNearMe. You can claim your listing, respond to reviews, and update your contact information at no cost. Paid plans add visibility upgrades and lead-routing features on top of the free tier.
Featured listings ($49/mo) appear in sponsored placement slots above organic results in your primary service area, receive a rank-score boost within their earned tier, and get priority lead routing for incoming quote requests. Premium listings ($149/mo) add exclusive category placement (only one Premium per city/category), geographic expansion to nearby cities, and intent-based visibility so your listing appears for high-intent searches like "best roofer near me" or "emergency plumber dallas".
No. Paid plans never alter a business's star rating or review count. Those signals are determined entirely by verified customer reviews and our transparent ranking algorithm. A Featured business with 3.2 stars will not outrank a free listing with 4.9 stars in organic results. Paid slots are clearly labeled as "Sponsored" or "Featured."
