Get Featured

Only one Featured slot per category & city — once it's taken, it's taken. Annual plans available (two months free). Prices may vary by category as we grow.

The rule that runs everything

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.

Selected first

Our "nearest & best" list is computed by objective signals only — true distance plus a transparent quality score. Money cannot enter that calculation. Ever.

Paid second

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.

Clearly labeled

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."

Simple & self-serve

How it works

No sales calls, no contracts to chase. Find your listing, pick a plan, and we feature you.

1

Find your listing

Search the directory for your business — chances are it's already here, auto-listed from public data and ready to claim.

2

Choose a plan

Claim it for free, or upgrade to Enhanced ($29/mo) for photos and your website link, or Featured ($99/mo) for the top labeled slot.

3

We feature you

Your upgrades go live — gallery, links, and (for Featured) your labeled spotlight, badge, and lead form. You stay in control of your details.

Ready to feature your business?

Pick Featured ($99/mo) for the top labeled slot in your category & city, or Enhanced ($29/mo) for photos and your website link. Reach the DFW parents already searching for what you offer.

Honest note: We're launching in Dallas–Fort Worth first and growing our traffic. Early Featured spots are priced to reward the businesses who join us early — ask us about a founding-member trial. Payment is handled securely by Stripe; this page never stores your card.
Good to know

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.
