For every Medina County small business

The residents already trust you. Now they can find you.

Medina Homes Guide is where every trusted small business in the county has a home. Free listings for every one of you. Paid tiers if you want to be found more often, show your work in more detail, or take a marquee position in your category.

Four ways to be here

Pick the one that fits how you already work.

Free forever is real. The paid tiers exist for businesses that want more from their listing than just being findable, and every paid tier includes real reviews from real Medina neighbors.

TIER 01

Free forever

The one everyone gets

$0

no card required

Every Medina County business belongs here.

Your basic listing

Business name, hours, phone, website link, and email.

Everything a resident needs to reach you when they've decided to. Displayed the same way every listing is displayed, so residents get to compare businesses fairly.

County verification stamp

Cross-checked against Medina County's own records.

Residents see the verification stamp next to your name. They know at a glance that you actually exist, are actually in the county, and actually do what you say you do.

Found in category search

When a resident searches your category, you show up.

You get found by neighbors who need what you offer, without paying to be findable. Free forever.

Reviews

Not on the free tier.

Reviews are the biggest signal residents use to pick who to call. Reviews come with a paid tier because building the review flow, checking for authenticity, and giving you the response tool takes work MHG has to fund.

TIER 02

Grow

For the shop, salon, or contractor ready to be found more often

$50 / month

founding pricing, locked for 24 months

For the plumber, the salon, the cafe, the accountant who has capacity and wants the phone to ring more.

Everything Free forever includes

Basic listing, verification stamp, category search visibility.

Reviews from real Medina neighbors

Reviews show under your name, tagged by neighborhood.

A homeowner in Wadsworth can see what other Wadsworth homeowners said about you. That's how word-of-mouth becomes visible to the whole county, not just to whoever your happiest customer happens to run into at Giant Eagle.

Reply to every review, publicly

The reply lives on your page next to the review.

Future customers get to read the whole exchange. A gracious reply to a hard review earns more trust than a perfect five-star average with silence.

Neighborhood coverage badges

Show which of the 28 neighborhoods you already serve.

The customer in Granger scrolling past ten electricians stops on the one who has the little Granger tag next to their name. Coverage isn't a claim, it's built from where your last reviews came from.

A Sponsored slot above your category's ranked list

Instead of one of 40 electricians, you're one of the two or three at the top.

When someone needs an electrician tonight, they see the ranked list AND your Sponsored slot at the top. Rank still belongs to whoever earned it. Grow adds visibility, never rank.

Monthly report of how residents found you

A short note: 34 residents saw your listing, 12 clicked to call, 5 left a review.

Instead of guessing whether MHG is working, you know. If a month is slow, we tell you before you notice.

TIER 03

Show

For businesses whose customers want to see the work first

$150 / month

founding pricing, locked for 24 months

For the contractor, the caterer, the wedding photographer, or the vet whose customer says 'let me see it' before they book.

Everything Grow includes

Reviews, replies, neighborhood badges, monthly report.

Real photos of your actual work

Kitchens you built, cakes you baked, weddings you shot.

The homeowner deciding between three names on a list is looking at your actual finished work, not a stock photo. That's usually the reason the phone rings instead of the other person's.

A short walkthrough video

A minute of your workshop, your kitchen, or a recent project.

The customer scrolling past ten contractors sees your video and stops. Three of them call. The other two send it to their spouse before they call.

Full FAQ answered on your page

Hours, service area, first-visit expectations, typical project cost.

The customer arrives at the phone call already sold, ready to book. You spend less time answering the same five questions and more time doing the actual work.

Review themes made visible

If ten customers keep saying 'on time,' that becomes a badge.

Instead of making the reader scan 40 reviews to figure out what you're known for, we surface the pattern. Your reputation shows up in seconds, not minutes.

A Sponsored answer beside the honest one, in AI answers

When residents ask a chatbot, MHG returns the ranked honest answer AND a clearly-labeled Sponsored answer beside it. Residents see both, know which is which.

When someone asks 'who's the best photographer in Medina for a fall wedding,' the answer surfaces your name and your video before it names anyone else.

TIER 04

Signature

For the businesses residents already know by name

$400 / month

founding pricing, locked for 24 months

For the roofer with a hundred-year name, the restaurant with a following, the market leader whose reputation deserves the prominence.

Everything Show includes

Reviews, video, FAQ, review themes, AI answer priority.

Direct message your customer base

Send updates, offers, seasonal news to your MHG-verified customer list.

Once a customer leaves you a review, you can send them a follow-up message through MHG. New seasonal service, price change, holiday hours, appointment reminder. They opted in when they left the review, and you never see or hold their email address yourself.

Message a sector of your customers

Only Wadsworth. Only recurring. Only new-this-year.

If your fall pre-emergent window is opening for Granger customers next week but not for Wadsworth until October, you can message just Granger. Precision instead of spam.

Customer feedback pulse

Ask your customer base a question. Get answers in a week.

Considering new hours? A new service? A price change? Send the question to your MHG customer list and see what they think before you decide. This is how you stop guessing what your customers want.

A quarterly editorial piece written for you

Four times a year MHG publishes a story about your work.

A project story, a seasonal guide, or a look at your craft. Residents who read it become residents who call. Written by MHG, kept in your voice.

Largest Sponsored placement in AI answers

In every relevant AI answer your name comes up first.

Always labeled Sponsored. That's the rule. But first is first, and the residents who ask AI questions are the residents who then click through.

Setup fee waived for the first 25 businesses. All paid tiers include a 30-day cancel-anytime window with a full refund.

Why reviews matter more than anything else on your listing

Every review teaches MHG what residents actually want to know.

Every review left on your listing does two jobs. First: it helps the next customer decide. Second: the questions your customers keep asking become the answers the whole MHG site starts giving. That's how a review of your gutter work in Granger ends up feeding the county-wide answer to "who fixes gutters in Granger."

Your reviews power the same MHG systems that other residents lean on when they're looking for the next business to trust. It's the same reason your listing shows up when they search: because someone before them said something that mattered.

Who claims these listings

The neighbors already doing the work.

If your work has been the reason a Medina family stayed warm this winter, ate well on a Tuesday, got their car back on the road, or found a home for their aging dog, you belong here.

The one rule we will never break

You cannot buy a ranking on MHG.

Higher paid tiers give you a richer profile and more prominence in the right places: featured slots, sponsored answers, magazine-quality layouts. They never move your position when a resident searches. That algorithm is anchored to how fast you answer the phone, how your last customers reviewed you, and how far your business is from where the resident lives. It has no idea what tier you pay for.

Sponsored placements are labeled Sponsored every time they appear.
