Gold and Platinum explained

How ranking works, what upgrading changes, and what happens when it ends.

What changes when you upgrade

Ranking. When a customer searches a category within a distance, results are ordered:

  1. Platinum — nearest first
  2. Gold — nearest first
  3. Silver — nearest first

Your listing also shows a Gold or Platinum badge. Everything else — the details you can show, confirmation, and the listing rules — is the same on every tier.

What doesn’t change

  • You only appear to customers whose chosen distance includes you. A Platinum business 3 miles away won’t show in a 1-mile search.
  • You still need to confirm on site every 6 months.
  • Other businesses aren’t removed; they appear below you.

How to upgrade

In the app, open My business, choose the listing, and tap Upgrade. You pay by card on a secure Stripe page. The upgrade applies to that one listing for 12 months, starting as soon as payment goes through. Buying the same tier again before it ends adds another 12 months. Current prices for United Kingdom are on the pricing page.

When an upgrade ends

Your listing returns to Silver automatically. It stays live and in search; it simply stops ranking above Silver listings.
