How Premium ordering works

A reader is owed a straight answer about why one listing is above another. Here it is.

One list, not two

Premium listings sit at the top of the same list as everything else. There is no separate sponsored block, and nothing is hidden behind a tab.

The order rotates daily

Where several Premium listings match, their order moves by one position each day against the New Zealand calendar date. It is stable for the whole day and the same for every visitor, and it is applied before the results are split into pages.

No position is for sale

There is no way to buy the top spot, a pinned result or an exclusive category. Monthly and annual subscribers are treated identically.

What Premium is not

  • Not a sponsorship, and not described as one anywhere on the site.
  • Not an endorsement or a recommendation of the business.
  • Not a review score. The directory holds no ratings or reviews at all.
  • Not an exclusive position, and not a guaranteed one.
  • Not a verification of licences, registrations, insurance or membership.

Cancelling, and what happens to your content

Your listing stays published

Cancelling Premium does not remove you from the directory. The listing keeps its name, address, phone number, website, short description and primary category, and it stays exactly where a free listing sits.

Nothing is deleted

The longer description, the images, the hours, the social links, the service areas and the two extra categories stop being published, and are kept privately on your account. Subscribing again restores all of it as it was.

Pricing questions

What does Premium-first ordering actually mean?

On a page of results, every Premium listing that matches the filters appears before the free listings that match, in one continuous list. It is not a separate sponsored block and it is not a ranking of quality.

Where several Premium listings match, their order rotates once a day against the New Zealand date, so with ten Premium businesses each takes a turn at the top over ten days. Nobody can buy a fixed position, and the order is the same for every visitor on the same day.

Is Premium a sponsorship or a recommendation?

No. Premium is a listing plan. It changes what a listing can show and where it sits in a list, and nothing else. The directory does not recommend, endorse or rate any business, and no editorial judgement is for sale.

Why are the prices shown plus GST?

Because that is what is charged. The advertised amounts are the pre-GST figures and GST is added at checkout, so NZ$10 a month comes to NZ$11.50 including GST, and NZ$100 a year comes to NZ$115. A GST-inclusive headline price would be a number nobody is actually charged.

What happens if I cancel?

Premium runs to the end of the period you have paid for, and then stops. Nothing is deleted.

After that your listing keeps its name, address, phone number, website, short description and primary category, and it stays published. It comes out of the two extra category pages, it loses the Premium position and badge, and the Premium-only parts of the profile stop being published: the longer description, the images, the email address, the opening hours, the social links and the service areas.

All of that is kept privately on your account. Subscribe again and it comes straight back exactly as it was, without you retyping or re-uploading anything.

What happens if a payment fails?

Stripe retries it and emails you. The listing keeps Premium while the subscription is still being retried, and drops back to free if it ends up cancelled or unpaid. You can update the card at any time from the billing page on your dashboard.

Is a free listing worse than a Premium one in search results?

A free listing appears on its category page, its parent category page and the location pages it covers, with its name, address, phone number, website and description, and it is in the sitemap like any other. It sits below the Premium listings that match the same filters. That is the whole difference in position.

Run a business in New Zealand?

A free listing takes a few minutes. Your name, address, phone number, website and a short description, in the category people search.
