Free Listing or VIP Page: What $2 a Month Changes
A free Listings Biz listing costs $0 and keeps you listed and found. A VIP page costs $2 a month and adds your own one-page website, a custom SEO title and description, a QR code, tracking by ID and unlimited edits (free listings get 2 a month). Both are reviewed by a person before they go live.
The difference, in short
- Free: listed on Listings Biz, a basic page, 2 edits a month, review targeted within 48 hours.
- VIP: your own one-page website made with AI, your own SEO title, a QR code and unlimited edits. Review is targeted within 10 hours.
- Free listings stay free. You never need VIP to be listed.
The free or VIP comparison in our docs has the short version. This post explains who each one suits and what VIP cannot do.
What you get on each plan
| Feature | Free | VIP |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $0 | $2 a month |

The review times are targets, not promises. VIP is also available at $6 a year.
Who should stay on the free listing?
Stay free if you want to be listed and found and you already have a website. A free listing does that at no cost, and it stays free for as long as you want. If you set your details once and rarely change them, 2 edits a month is enough. Our guide to free business directories vs a Google Business Profile explains where a listing fits in local search.
Who should go VIP?
Go VIP if you do not have a website, or you want a clean page that you control on your Listings Biz address, with your own tracking and a QR code to print on cards or flyers. You also get a custom favicon, a VIP badge and your own SEO title and description. The views and QR code guide shows where the QR code is and what the view count means, and Google, SEO and tracking covers the rest.
What a VIP page can’t do
- It is one page, with no sub-pages and no blog.
- There is no custom domain. Your page stays on your Listings Biz address.
- Only HTML and CSS are kept. Scripts and forms are removed, so an embedded booking widget or contact form won’t work. Email, phone and WhatsApp buttons do. See page HTML rules: what is kept and removed.
If you need any of those, you need a full website. The full explanation of a VIP page covers the rest.
How do I try VIP first?
Start the free 24-hour preview. No card is needed. If you already have a free listing, upgrading it to VIP is a separate step you can do later. One VIP licence covers one listing, and if VIP ends, your listing stays online as a free listing. Here is how the preview works.
