No. Spotlight is a sponsored placement above the Top 5. Our Top 5 picks are chosen separately through our own research, and paying for Spotlight neither adds you to that list nor keeps you off it. A business can appear in both when it earns the ranking on merit.
TopChoice Spotlight is $49 + GST per month, or $490 + GST per year if you pay annually (two months free). The monthly plan has no contract and can be cancelled any time; the annual plan is prepaid for 12 months. There's one Spotlight slot per trade, per location, so availability is limited.
Yes. Paying annually is $490 + GST per year, which works out at two months free compared with monthly. Annual plans are prepaid for 12 months and non-refundable, but you can cancel renewal at any time, so you are never locked in beyond the year you have paid for.
Yes, as long as the placement for your category and location is free. Your listing goes live as soon as you pay, with nothing to wait for. We can remove a listing that does not meet our standards and refund the unused part of the period, and the Top 5 below it is unaffected either way.
Because there is only one Spotlight business per category per location, spots do sell out. The form tells you straight away. If yours is taken, email us and we will let you know when it comes free.
