A LITTLE CLARITY

Good to know before you choose.

Is Business Showcase monthly or yearly?

Yearly. It is CA$100 for 12 months, billed once. No GST/HST is charged. There are no setup or processing fees.

Can I pay online?

Yes, for Business Showcase. Sign in, open My IGVA > Your plan and choose Buy for your published listing. You pay on Stripe's secure page; IGVA never sees your card. It is a one-time payment for 12 months with no automatic renewal.

Can I buy the optional features one by one?

Not yet. The individual prices are a preview to help you compare. Business Showcase includes all four.

Which features need Business Showcase?

Menu, products and services, online booking and appointments, offers and deals, events, announcements, a photo gallery, FAQs and advanced analytics. They work while paid coverage is active; IGVA sets site-wide limits, such as how many announcements can run at once.

Does a paid plan improve my search position?

Paid plans do not change where a business appears in search results. Verification badges are never for sale.

What is a Signature Address?

An IGVA-hosted address for your business page. It is not a separately registered domain. Business Showcase owners can request one, and IGVA reviews every request.

Does the Free Listing expire?

No. A free listing stays free, one per owner unless IGVA has agreed an exception. Claims remain subject to verification.

Is my business checked before it appears?

Submitting is not publishing. An IGVA administrator reviews each submitted listing, and claims remain subject to verification.

What happens if Business Showcase ends?

Your listing stays, with Free Listing features. Expired or downgraded plans never delete your business content.
