Question 1

Is it really free? What's the catch?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the Free plan is genuinely free and has no time limit. You get a full business profile, direct WhatsApp, phone, and email leads, customer reviews, photos, and search visibility at zero cost. There is no catch. We offer paid Featured and Premium plans for businesses that want additional reach, but the free listing never expires.

Question 2

Do I need a credit card to sign up?

Accepted Answer

No credit card is required to create a free listing. You simply create an account and submit your business details. No payment information is collected unless you choose to upgrade.

Question 3

What is the difference between the free plan and paid plans?

Accepted Answer

The Free plan includes a full business profile, WhatsApp, phone & email lead button, customer reviews, up to 3 photos, and basic analytics. Paid Featured and Premium plans add an AI-enhanced SEO description, verified badge, instant listing activation (no 2–5 day wait), priority search placement, up to 20 photos, do-follow backlinks, and full analytics with traffic source breakdown.

Question 4

How long does it take for my free listing to go live?

Accepted Answer

Free listings are reviewed and approved within 2–5 business days. If you need your listing live immediately, the Featured plan activates your listing instantly.

Question 5

Can I upgrade from free to a paid plan later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can upgrade at any time from your dashboard. Your profile, reviews, and photos all carry over — there is nothing to redo. Upgrades take effect immediately.

Question 6

Which countries and cities are supported?

Accepted Answer

Destinali supports businesses across all 54 African countries. Lagos, Abuja, Accra, Nairobi, Johannesburg, Cairo, Dakar, Dar es Salaam — and beyond. Your listing is searchable from day one, regardless of city.
