FAQ

How fast can we go live?
Your listing can go live immediately after payment. How quickly it becomes fully optimized depends on how fast content and assets are provided, but most listings are fully set up within a few days.
How many customers will I get from this?
We can’t guarantee a specific number of customers, as results depend heavily on your service offering, pricing, and how clearly you communicate your value. What we do provide is a strong platform with transparent traffic data and a targeted audience. Many of our premium clients report a positive return on investment.

Terms & Notes
