A listing is free. Featured and Premium buy you something specific: a stronger, more visible link from a directory that search engines and AI already trust.
This domain has years of history and hundreds of referring sites. A dofollow link from a curated, on-topic New Zealand index carries more weight than a random web directory, and it points search engines straight at your site. Featured and Premium listings get that link without needing the badge on their own site.
Answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI overviews increasingly pull from structured, credible sources when someone asks "who does this in New Zealand." Being in a hand-checked index with clean data and schema markup helps you surface in those answers, not only in the classic ten blue links.
The homepage shows only three Premium slots, and each category has a limited featured row. Everyone who lands here is already looking for New Zealand tech, so a featured position reaches the right people at the moment they are looking, rather than shouting into a feed.
Full profile, a dofollow link, listed in your category and search. You display the badge (or a plain link) on your site.
No badge required, plus placement above the free listings in your category and a featured tag. Pay once.
Pinned and highlighted at the very top of your category, with only a few slots per category so it stays scarce. Cancel anytime.
