$0Free forever
Best for any PNW business that wants to be searchable today.
Customers can find your business and contact you directly.
Free forever. No credit card.
Business Plus
$29per month · cancel anytime
Best for owners ready for stronger placement and eligibility for qualified quote opportunities.
You're listed above free listings and become eligible for matching customer quote requests.
The Verified badge is free and separate: it appears only after your applicable checks pass. Paying never adds it.
Featured Business
$99per month · cancel anytime
Best for businesses that want steady visibility without locking a territory.
Your business is placed ahead of Free and Business Plus listings and hears about matching requests sooner.
Not exclusive. More than one business can be Featured in the same category and city.
Category Partner
$299per month · cancel anytime
Best for an established business that wants the top position in its category and area.
You hold the one official partner position for your category in an approved territory, with first access to matching requests.
One per category and territory. We confirm availability and approve the fit before any payment.
Membership provides visibility and access to matching opportunities. The number of requests varies by category, location and season. PNW Small Business does not guarantee leads or completed jobs.
Plenty of owners stay on the free listing, and that's fine. Here's the honest reason to take each step.
FreeBusiness Plus
You're listed, but you sit with every other free listing and don't receive shared quote requests. Business Plus moves you above free listings and makes you eligible for matching requests in your area.
Business PlusFeatured
You're getting found, but you share placement and quote timing with other members. Featured puts you ahead of them, hears about matching requests sooner and adds monthly promotion.
FeaturedCategory Partner
You want to be the name locals see first for your kind of work. Category Partner is the single top position for your category in an approved territory, with first access to matching requests.
You can pay for exposure. You can't pay for trust. PNW Verification is free for any claimed listing, and the badge appears only after the checks that apply to your type of business pass. No plan buys it.
The differences that matter most. Open any plan above for the full list.
Membership provides visibility and access to matching opportunities. The number of requests varies by category, location and season. PNW Small Business does not guarantee leads or completed jobs.
PNW Promote is separate from membership. It sells temporary sponsored placements for a set number of days — city pages, category pages, Explore PNW, and where available social and the newsletter. Buying a placement does not change your membership tier or your verification status, and every placement is labeled Sponsored.
Explore PNW PromoteEach request is matched with no more than three qualified businesses in that category and service area.
Category Partners: First access in their category and approved region.
Featured Businesses: Priority access next.
Business Plus members: Standard access.
Free Listings: Not included in distributed quote opportunities — consumers can still contact them directly through their profile.
Membership provides visibility and access to matching opportunities. The number of requests varies by category, location and season. PNW Small Business does not guarantee leads or completed jobs.
Verification is free for any claimed listing — no membership required. Paying for a membership does not earn the badge; passing the applicable checks does.
We confirm the business is actively registered with the Secretary of State (or equivalent) in the state it operates in.
Owner and business contact details were checked against supporting records.
For licensed trades we look up the license number with Washington L&I, Oregon CCB or Idaho DOPL and confirm it is active and in the business's name.
Current liability insurance was confirmed from supporting documents or official records.
Verified means we checked the items that apply to this type of business at the time of review. It is not a guarantee of workmanship, pricing, or outcome — always confirm license and insurance status yourself before hiring.
Business Plus members get one official welcome post introducing the business to the Pacific Northwest Small Business Network group. Featured members get one professionally written spotlight each month, pinned for up to 24 hours when appropriate. Category Partners get weekly exposure. Posts are written and scheduled by our team and follow the group's rules. The group itself is free to join and free to post in — that will never change.
Verification is free and does not require a membership. Claim your listing, sign in, open your owner dashboard and submit your details from the Profile tab. We check business registration and the owner's identity and phone, plus professional licensing and liability insurance where they apply to your type of business. The badge appears only once every applicable check passes. Paying for a membership never creates a Verified badge on its own.
A customer request is matched with no more than three qualified businesses in that category and service area. Category Partners get first access, Featured members get priority access next, then Business Plus members. Free listings do not receive distributed requests, though consumers can still contact them directly on their profile.

Yes. Monthly memberships are month-to-month and annual plans run for the term you paid. You can upgrade, downgrade or cancel at any time and your listing stays live through the end of the billing period. Cancelling drops you back to a free listing — your profile and data are not deleted.
The $29 Business Plus price is tied to one of 100 numbered Founding Member seats. Your rate stays at $29 for as long as your membership remains continuously active — that is $1,200 saved over five years versus the $49 rate. Cancelling ends the price lock and releases your seat. You also hold a numbered founding seat (Founding Member #N of 100) and a place on the Founding Member Wall, which goes public after payment, listing approval, your verification details and 14 continuous days of active membership. Full details are on the Founding Member Promise page.
Yes. Free, Business Plus and Featured listings are unlimited — any number of businesses can appear in the same category and the same city. Paid tiers change your placement and lead priority, not who is allowed to list. The only exclusive tier is Category Partner.
One PNW Small Business membership covers everywhere you qualify to appear — the directory, city and category pages, and Explore the PNW. There is no separate Explore membership or second bill. Your tier decides how you appear on every surface you qualify for — Category Partners lead their category, Featured members sit above Business Plus and free listings, and free listings still show up.
One Category Partner position is available per category within each approved territory. The Category Partner receives the exclusive official partner placement and first access to matching quote requests in that territory. Category Partner exclusivity applies to the official partner position for the agreed category and territory. Other businesses in that category may still be listed and displayed throughout the PNW Small Business Network. A territory may be a city, county, metro area or group of nearby cities, and availability is confirmed before membership activation. Category Partner is an advertising and placement position on this platform only — it does not award, assign or control any customer project. This applies to the Category Partner tier only — all other tiers are unlimited. If your category and territory are already taken, we'll tell you before any payment is taken and offer the next available option.
Search the directory, open your listing and claim it. Claiming is free and gives you control of the profile. You can upgrade later at any time.

Paid tiers change order, not who can list
Free, Business Plus ($29) and Featured ($99) listings are all unlimited — any number of businesses can appear in the same category and city. Paid members simply sort above free ones.
Free listings are never hidden or removed
A free listing stays searchable, keeps its full profile and can be contacted directly at any time. It just appears below paid members in results.
Only Category Partner is exclusive

The Category Partner receives the exclusive official partner placement and first access to matching quote requests in that territory.

Quote requests go to paying members first
Each customer request is shared with no more than 3 businesses, offered in order: Category Partner, then Featured, then Business Plus. Free listings don't receive routed leads.
Every listing carries one of three labels
Verified — checked by us. Owner managed — the owner submitted or claimed it. Public info, unclaimed — compiled from public sources, no owner involved yet, and photos may be stock imagery.
Verified is earned, not purchased
The PNW Verified badge only appears after our verification process — business registration, owner identity, plus licensing and insurance where they apply. Paying alone never creates a badge.
