Questions

How much does it cost to advertise on The NYC Classifieds?

A neighborhood-level ad — one category, one neighborhood — is $100/month. Borough-wide is $400/month, all of NYC in one category is $1,200/month, and the single site-wide homepage banner is $750/month. Buying 3-5 slots gets 10% off, 6 or more gets 20% off, automatically.

Is there a contract?

No. Every ad is month-to-month. Cancel or change your placement anytime — there's no long-term commitment.

What do you mean only one ad per category per location?

Each category + location combination (for example, Plumbers in Park Slope) holds exactly one advertiser at a time. Once you claim a slot, no competitor can buy their way in next to you — your ad is the only one shown there until you cancel.

Where does my ad actually show up?

Your ad appears at the top of every page that matches your target category and location — classifieds pages, The Porch, Alerts, and the Business Directory. If you target a specific neighborhood, it shows there first; broader placements (borough-wide or city-wide) show wherever a more specific ad has not been purchased.

Can I advertise in more than one neighborhood or category?

Yes — that's exactly what the multi-slot discounts are for. Many businesses buy their core category across several neighborhoods, or a couple of related categories in one area.

How fast does my ad go live?

Instantly. Buy your slot through self-serve checkout and it goes live automatically the moment payment clears — no waiting on approval.
