Featured Listing Tiers
A side-by-side look at what your shop gets at each level of visibility on A Good Mechanic Houston — so you know exactly what you’re paying for before you upgrade.
Where This Pricing Sits in the Market
Local-service advertising costs vary by platform, but here’s how our flat monthly pricing compares to what shops commonly report paying elsewhere for similar visibility.
| Platform | Typical cost | Structure |
|---|---|---|
| Yelp Ads / boosted profile | $300–$1,000+/mo | Pay-per-click, spend can spike with competition |
| Angi / HomeAdvisor Featured Pro | $300–$600+/mo | Flat placement fee, or $15–$60 per lead |
| Thumbtack | $200–$500+/mo | Pay-per-lead, $20–$60 per lead |
| Google Local Services Ads | $300–$1,000+/mo | Pay-per-lead, $10–$30+ per lead, no cap |
| Nextdoor Business promoted posts | $49–$249/mo | Tiered flat monthly plans |
| BBB Accreditation + profile | $35–$65/mo | Annual fee, billed yearly |
| A Good Mechanic Houston | $99 / $199 / $399/mo | Flat monthly rate, no per-click or per-lead risk |
Ranges reflect commonly reported industry norms for comparable local-service advertising, not a quote from any one platform. All three of our tiers sit at or below the typical entry point for Yelp, Angi, and Thumbtack — with a fixed price instead of variable per-click or per-lead billing.

Owner Verified isn’t part of any paid tier. It’s earned by confirming you actually own the business — every claimed listing gets it, free tier included. Verification, rating, and Featured status are always three separate things on this site: a shop can never pay its way to a rating it didn’t earn.
