Advertising disclosure
Effective September 11, 2026. Palm Coast, Florida.
Some names on this site paid to be here. This page is the honest version of how that works — so a newcomer can tell a paid listing from a neighborhood note.
Who pays
Businesses in the directory and partner programs pay a monthly fee. Current plans (as of the rate card):
- Standard Listing — $29/month. Verified information, business description, contact multiline and directory placement.
- Featured Listing — $99/month. Enhanced profile, priority placement, photos, links and category visibility.
- Recommended Provider — $199/month. Limited availability, prominent placement, lead referrals and editorial review.
- Founding Partner — $299/month. Premium positioning, Welcome Kit inclusion, newsletter rotation, badge and protected founding rate.
Founding Partner also includes Welcome Kit inclusion, newsletter rotation, a badge, and a protected 2026 rate. Recommended Provider seats are limited.
How paid placements appear
- Directory cards and Featured / Recommended / Founding labels are paid placements, or they sit inside a paid plan.
- Copy on those listings is editorial in voice — we write it, the business approves it — but the placement itself is purchased.
- Homepage “featured businesses” and Welcome Kit partner names are paid unless we say otherwise.
- Neighborhood guides, the moving plan, insurance pages, and Ask a local are not for sale as advertorial. A Recommended Provider may appear alongside that content; the guide itself is ours.
What we will not sell
PalmCoast.Life does not accept payment to rank, order, or feature a home listing. Featured homes are a weekly editorial snapshot for relocators, not a paid board. We are not a brokerage.
We decline national lead mills and businesses that do not actually serve Flagler County. Payment does not buy a five-star review we did not write.
Independence
Advertising keeps the lights on. It does not rewrite the lettered map, the cost calculator, or the Tuesday-trash paragraph on About. If a partner and a neighborhood note ever conflict, the note wins.
How to advertise
Start at List a business. Nothing is billed until we confirm the copy together. For this disclosure, call 386-800-1877.
