Frequently Asked Questions
How Around Madison handles listings, submissions, planning requests, and promotion.
Is every listing paid?
No. Organic directory listings and paid promotional inventory are separate. Sponsored placements are disclosed.
Can a business update its listing?
Eligible businesses can claim their listing and manage supported profile information through the business portal.
Does submitting an event guarantee publication?
No. Public submissions enter a review queue and may be edited, merged, declined, or scheduled.
Does a planning request subscribe me to email marketing?
No. The planning-request consent is limited to responding to that request unless you separately subscribe to the newsletter.
How are business images handled?
Around Madison uses owned or rights-approved media. An image discovered on an official website is not automatically treated as permission to republish it.
Are sponsored listings ranked as organic results?
No. Paid placement must remain disclosed and logically separate from organic ranking.
