FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does approval take?+
Most listings are reviewed within 1–2 business days. We check that the business is real and reachable before publishing it. You'll get an email once your listing is live.
What does "Verified by ANIV" mean — and what does it not mean?+
The Verified badge means ANIV has confirmed the business is real and reachable. It is free and set by ANIV after review — it is not part of any paid plan, and it is not an endorsement of workmanship or quality.
Can I upgrade from a free listing later, and does my page carry over?+
Yes. You can start with a free Community Listing and upgrade to Business Plus anytime. Your business name, category, service area, short description and contact details carry over — Business Plus then adds your cover photo, gallery, story and more.
How do I cancel or get a refund?+
Business Plus is billed annually at $150. You can cancel renewal at any time by contacting ANIV; your listing stays live until the end of the paid year. Refunds are handled case by case — email info@anivbc.org and we'll help.
