TopChoice Spotlight FAQs

No. Spotlight provides a sponsored placement and enhanced business profile. Our Top 5 picks are selected separately. A business can appear in both when independently selected.

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.

Spotlight placements are offered to established local businesses that meet our editorial standards. Every application is reviewed, and the same ownership and business-detail checks used for our Verified Profiles are applied automatically, before a Spotlight placement goes live.

Because we only offer one Spotlight business per trade per location, slots can sell out. Enquire and we'll let you know if it's available or add you to the waitlist for when it opens up.
