FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about HipHop Directory sponsorships.

How many businesses can sponsor a zone?

5 per zone — one per slot level (Sponsor, Patron, Champion, Pillar, Cornerstone). 20 zones × 5 slots = 100 total positions across the global network.

What does a sponsorship slot include?

Every slot includes featured placement in your zone, a slot-level badge on your listing, and analytics showing impressions, clicks, and engagement. Higher-level slots get progressively more prominent placement.

What's the founding rate and is it really locked?

The founding rate is today's price, locked permanently at signup. As the directory grows and more businesses compete for limited slots, prices for new members will increase — but your rate stays fixed as long as your membership is active.

Can I own all 5 slots in my zone?

Yes. Zone Dominance ($15,000/yr) reserves all 5 slots in one zone exclusively for your business. No competitor can hold a sponsored position in your zone for the duration of your membership.

Can I transfer my slot to a different zone?

Yes. You can transfer your sponsorship slot to a different zone from your dashboard, subject to availability in your target zone.
