Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know Before You Get Featured with Local Bongo
How many people will see my feature, and how does that help me get customers?
Every article is promoted through paid social media ads targeted by ZIP code, interests, and behavior—so it reaches thousands of people in your area. Because the content feels like a trusted recommendation (not just an ad), people are more likely to click, explore your offer, and become real customers. Many businesses also reshare their feature to keep the momentum going.
How do I get selected to be the featured spot in a roundup article?
The top spot in our curated articles is chosen by our editorial team based on standout qualities like community impact, originality, or customer reviews. We give priority consideration to our advertisers, but placement is not guaranteed.
What do I get when I’m featured?
You’ll receive a professionally written spotlight in a curated article—either a solo feature or part of a carefully selected group of standout local businesses. Your feature includes a direct link to your website, targeted social promotion, and visibility in front of thousands of local readers.
Will I be the only business in the article?
Only the Spotlight package includes a solo article. The Starter and Neighborhood packages include placement in a themed roundup with up to 5–6 businesses.
Do you offer ZIP code or industry exclusivity?
Yes! With our Spotlight package, you receive regional ZIP code and industry exclusivity—which means we won’t feature direct competitors in the same area during your campaign.
How long does it take to go live?
Most features are published and start running within 7–10 business days after we receive your materials and approval.
Is this a one-time fee or are there any ongoing commitments?
Yes, it’s one-time unless you choose to renew for more features or a retainer.
Can I include a special offer or promotion?
Absolutely! You can include a limited-time offer, call to action, and all your contact details so readers can connect and convert quickly.
Can I see or approve the article before it goes live?
Yes. You’ll receive a draft for review and can request changes before anything is published or promoted.
What happens after I sign up?
You’ll get a short intake form to tell us about your business. From there, our team will write your article, confirm final details with you, and begin promotion.
What if I want to be featured again later?
You can absolutely return for future features! Some businesses join our monthly or seasonal retainer to stay top-of-mind with their audience year-round.
How long will my feature be promoted?
Your article will stay live on our site indefinitely, but we guarantee 1 month of active promotion through social ads and homepage visibility. After that, you can choose to extend your exposure through a retainer package.
What if I have more questions?
We’re happy to help! Just fill out the form on our contact page and we’ll get back to you shortly. You can also book a consultation to walk through your goals and get answers to any questions before you commit.
