Question 1

Is the Philippine business listing really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the Free plan is genuinely free with no time limit. You get a full business profile, direct phone, email, and message contact, customer reviews, up to 3 photos, and Google & AI search visibility at zero cost. There is no catch. Paid Pro and Growth plans exist for businesses that want extra reach and faster activation, but the free listing never expires.

Question 2

Do I need a credit card to list my Philippine business?

Accepted Answer

No. Creating a free listing requires no credit card and no payment details whatsoever. You sign up with an email address, fill in your business info, and submit. We only collect payment information if you choose to upgrade to a paid plan.

Question 3

Which cities in the Philippines does Destinali support?

Accepted Answer

All cities across the Philippines are supported — including Metro Manila (Manila, Quezon City, Makati, BGC, Pasig, Mandaluyong), Cebu City, Davao City, Baguio City, Iloilo City, Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro, Zamboanga City, General Santos, Tacloban, Antipolo, Batangas City, Lucena City, Calamba, Angeles City, and every city, municipality, and barangay in between.

Question 4

How long does it take for my listing to appear?

Accepted Answer

Free listings are reviewed and approved within 2–5 business days. We review each listing manually to keep the directory accurate and trustworthy for customers. If you need your listing live immediately, the Pro plan activates instantly with no waiting period.

Question 5

Do I pay commission on leads?

Accepted Answer

No. Destinali charges zero commission on enquiries. When a customer calls your number, sends you an email, or submits a message, the conversation happens directly between you and them. We never take a cut and we never insert ourselves into the transaction.

Question 6

How is Destinali different from Google Business Profile or Facebook?

Accepted Answer

Facebook and Google Business Profile are both valuable — and you should use them. Destinali is complementary: a structured directory increasingly cited by AI search tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity) when people ask for local recommendations, plus a do-follow backlink to your website that strengthens your overall SEO. Most Philippine businesses benefit from being on multiple platforms.

Question 7

Will my listing rank in Google?

Accepted Answer

Every Destinali listing is built with structured data (Schema.org LocalBusiness markup), fast page load, and mobile-first responsive design — all signals Google rewards. Many listings rank for long-tail searches like "best salon in BGC" or "dentist near Makati" within weeks of going live.

Question 8

Can I upgrade later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can upgrade from Free to Pro or Growth at any time from your dashboard. All your reviews, photos, and profile information carry over instantly. Pro is $14/month and Growth is $29/month, billed in USD. Annual plans save around 17%.
