What premium includes
Four things. No fine print.
Premium is one product at one price. It puts your the Okanagan listing where customers actually look, and it says plainly that you invested in how you show up.
Priority placement
Your listing ranks above every free listing on the directory index, its category pages, and search results — the three surfaces customers actually browse. Editorial featured picks keep the very top; premium sits immediately behind them.
The Premium badge
A distinct marker on your card everywhere it appears — directory, categories, search, your own page. Customers notice which businesses invest in how they show up, and the badge says it without a word of copy.
One honest price
$90.00 a year, incl. 5% GST. No tiers, no add-ons, no "contact us for pricing". The number on this page is the number PayPal charges — and it is the number you renew at.
It keeps the Okanagan independent
Your fee funds the local guides and keeps the whole directory running without banner ads. Featured picks stay editorial — never for sale — so a premium listing is the only paid placement on Okanagan Business Directory. Full stop.
How it works
Three steps, about two minutes
-
Find your listing
Search the exact name your business is listed under. Your subscription attaches to that listing — not to an account, not to an email.
-
Pay through PayPal
Card or PayPal balance, through PayPal's own checkout on this page. $90.00 a year, incl. 5% GST, renews automatically, cancel anytime from your PayPal account.
-
Live in minutes
The badge and the ranking apply automatically the moment PayPal confirms — usually before you have finished your coffee. Watch it happen right on this page.
The deal
$90.00 a year. That is the whole pitch.
GST included, PayPal handles the billing, and your listing keeps its premium placement until the year you paid for runs out — even if you cancel partway through. Cancel anytime from your PayPal account; no emails, no phone calls, no retention scripts.
Straight answers
Questions people actually ask
What exactly changes when I go premium?
Two things, both automatic. Your listing ranks above every free listing on the directory index, on its category pages, and in search — immediately behind the editorial featured picks. And your card carries a distinct Premium badge everywhere it appears, so customers can tell at a glance. Nothing else about your listing changes.
How does billing work?
It is a yearly PayPal subscription: $90.00 CAD, GST included. PayPal charges your card or balance automatically each year, and you can cancel anytime from your PayPal account. If you cancel, your listing keeps its premium placement until the end of the year you already paid for.
How fast does the badge show up?
Usually within minutes. Activation is automatic on this end — the moment PayPal confirms the subscription, the badge and the ranking apply. You can watch it happen on this page: find your business below and the "Premium active" marker replaces the subscribe button.
Do the featured picks change if I pay?
No. The featured businesses at the very top are editorial choices — they are never for sale, on any plan. Premium is clearly-labelled paid placement that sits directly behind them, and it is honest about being paid.
My business is not listed yet. What do I do?
Add it first — a basic listing is free and takes a few minutes. Once it is published, come back here, find it, and attach your subscription to it.
