How It Works

For Local Businesses

Here’s exactly how it works.

No catch. No long contract. No salesperson calling you at dinner.

We’ve been telling the First Coast’s stories for six years — now we’re doing the same for the businesses that make this stretch of coast worth living in. Here’s how to get yours in front of the neighbors already looking for you.

The Process

1. Start your listing Click “Claim Your Free Listing” below and answer a few quick questions about your business. Takes about five minutes.

2. It’s free to start No card, no catch, no expiration. Your basic listing is genuinely free — it’s a smaller footprint than our other tiers, but it’s yours to keep.

3. We take a look Every listing gets reviewed by our team before it goes live. We’re not a free-for-all directory — if it’s here, it’s here because it’s worth being here.

4. You’re live You’ll get a confirmation email the moment your listing is approved, with your page searchable on FirstCoast.Life and on Google.

5. Run it yourself Log in anytime to update your info, add a photo or story, and see who’s viewed your listing and reached out.

6. Build your reputation Ask happy customers for a review. Once you’ve got five, we add a “Locals Favorite” badge to your page.

7. We help spread the word New listings get shared on our Facebook page — and you’re always welcome to share yours everywhere else too.

Three Levels, However Big You Want to Show Up

• Listed — free, always. A basic page with your essentials: name, category, contact info, and one photo. Enough to be found.
• Featured — $30/month. A fuller listing with more room to tell your story, photos and video, and a direct link to your own website. Built for businesses ready to be found and followed up on.
• Endorsed — our top tier, by application. This is where you get direct access to me — not a support ticket, me — plus a rotating ad placement throughout the site. This is our full personal endorsement, the same “I only feature what I can fully endorse” standard we’ve built this whole thing on.
