Selected first. Paid second. Clearly labeled.
A directory that lets money reorder honest results loses the trust that makes it worth anything. So we don't. Payment buys visibility — never the ranking.
Our "nearest & best" list is computed by objective signals only — true distance plus a transparent quality score. Money cannot enter that calculation. Ever.
You can pay for a Featured slot only after you already exist in the directory. It buys a clearly-marked spotlight beside the honest list — not a higher rank inside it.
Featured placements are visually distinct and literally labeled "Featured." If a Featured business is also genuinely #3 nearest, it still appears at #3 — with a small ★, never moved to the top.
"Our top picks are ranked by distance and quality — never by payment. Featured businesses pay for the highlighted slot above, clearly labeled."

Questions, answered
â–¸ Can I pay to rank higher in the results?
No — and that's the point. Our "nearest & best" list is ranked by distance and quality only. Featured buys a separate, clearly-labeled spotlight beside that honest list. It's what keeps parents trusting the directory, which is what makes a listing here valuable in the first place.
â–¸ Is my business already listed?
Probably. We auto-list relevant DFW family businesses from public data so the directory is complete on day one. Search the Local Resources directory to find yours, then claim it for free.
â–¸ What's the difference between Enhanced and Featured?
Enhanced ($29/mo) unlocks photos, your website/booking link, and a full description. Featured ($99/mo) adds the labeled top-of-category spotlight, a "Featured" badge, a lead-capture form, a lead dashboard, and an ad-free profile. Only one Featured slot is sold per category & city.
â–¸ How do I pay?
Through secure Stripe checkout (cards, automatic receipts, easy cancellation). Use the "Get Featured" button above, or email hello@thefamilyvillageguide.com and we'll set you up.
â–¸ Do you cover my city?
We're launching in Dallas–Fort Worth first and expanding from there. If you're a DFW family business, you're in. Outside DFW? Email us — we'd love to know where to grow next.
