# What Directory listing type should I choose?
## You can choose a Silver or Gold listing, and opt to upgrade to 'Featured' status for extra visibility.
#### Directory Listing Types
#### Monthly or Annual?
We recommend choosing an Annual plan rather than a monthly plan. It works out much cheaper in the long run, but also really gives you the chance to trial the Directory as a marketing option for your business.
Here's how much you'll save:
- **Silver:** $19 monthly auto-renewal or $169 annual auto-renewal (which works out at $14.08 per month)
- **Gold:** $24 monthly auto-renewal or $219 annual auto-renewal (which works out at $18.25 per month)
- **Featured Silver:** $29 monthly auto-renewal or $299 annual auto-renewal (which works out at $24.91 per month)
- **Featured Gold:** $34 monthly auto-renewal or $349 annual auto-renewal (which works out at $29.08 per month)
We would only suggest choosing a monthly listing if:
- Your product or service is seasonal, so you only need it up for a few months
- You're just starting out and it's better to spread out your marketing budget on a monthly basis.
#### Should I choose a Silver or Gold listing in the Dirctory?
A **Silver listing** includes all your contact details, website and social links, 5 images and a short description (1000 characters).
A **Gold listing** includes all your contact details, website and social links, 10 images, a longer description (2000 characters)… plus you can include:
- A special offer
- Embed a video
- Triple your exposure by listing in up to three relevant categories.
#### Why should I choose a 'Featured' listing in the Directory?
A Featured listing in the Directory helps to increase your visibility on the website - your listing can be randomly selected to appear on the homepage, and also it will be at the top of your category:
***Directory: Top of category***
Your listing will be placed at the **top of your category** (in alphabetical order) before the Standard listings, to ensure your business is one of the first that people see. These listings get more clicks than standard listings.[](https://www.northshoremums.com.au/directory/photographers/maternity-photographers)
***Website: Homepage exposure***
Featured businesses also get randomly selected to appear on the homepage in the 'Businesses' box for bonus exposure! This gives each Featured Business around 800-1200 impressions per month (based on average 100k page views).[](https://www.northshoremums.com.au/)
Give your business the best chance of being found by upgrading to Featured status!
