FAQ

Do you schedule posts for me?

No. You are purchasing promotional access to post your business promotions inside the group. You publish your own promotional posts within plan standards. We moderate for compliance.

What if my promotional post doesn't meet standards?

If a promotional submission is declined, you may revise once to meet standards at no extra charge. We work with you to get your business promotion right.

How fast do I get access?

Access is granted within 24–72 hours, Monday–Friday, 9–6 CT. Federal holidays excluded.

How does annual membership work?

Annual membership gives you unlimited promotional posts for 12 months at a fixed rate. Much more cost-effective if you plan to promote regularly.

Do you report performance?

No. You're buying access, not analytics. Track results on your end.
