How does the guided intake work?

The guided intake helps you choose Advertising or Marketing, select the correct ad or package, and automatically routes you to the correct intake form or secure checkout.

What is the difference between Advertising and Marketing?

Advertising places your business inside categories where customers are actively searching. Marketing promotes your business name, brand, and message so customers choose you.

Do I have to pay immediately?

No. You may complete the intake form first using Pay Later, or proceed directly to secure checkout when ready.

Can I change my selections later?

Yes. Your selections help route you correctly, but details can be refined during onboarding.
