How Our Listings Work
A walkthrough of business listings on Tri Cities Board — Verified through Flagship, plus the Golden Hundred. Open the restaurant to see every plan depth on live chrome.
The ladder
Plan does not buy directory position. The live list is A–Z, then 30-day activity, then tier as a last tiebreaker.

165 listings in this walkthrough mix. Showing the first 24 in the current order.
Ranking
Live sort: name A–Z, then rolling 30-day points descending, then tier. A published Business Highlight is 25 points. An owner-uploaded profile video, Short, or video Highlight is 50 — once per slot, never inferred from a URL, and never for Board-produced Community-First Features. Likes and distinct daily views on this site are 1 each, same as a profile view. NFC taps do not feed this score.
Highlights & video
- Written Highlights need all 5 magazine-layout section photos before submit.
- AI assist turns on after 5 bullet points or 2 full sentences in this section. Rule: 5 bullet points or 2 full sentences.
- Profile video is Distinguished and Flagship. Established still gets Shorts.
- Open Cedar & Salt Kitchen as Flagship to see the slots filled.
Hiring, Perks, and ads
- Hiring pills show on directory cards and on the profile. Open the careers page to apply — the form does not send anything from this walkthrough.
- Paid listings climb Perks from NFC taps plus likes and distinct daily views on this site. The free Verified floor has no Perks ladder.
- Plan discounts apply to advertising. Directory position is not for sale: A–Z, then 30-day points, then tier.
FAQ
- Is this the live directory?
- No. These are walkthrough fixtures. The live hubs hide test rows so neighbours do not browse throwaway listings.
- Does paying more move me up the list?
- No. Name first, then 30-day activity, then tier as a last tiebreaker.
- Who gets profile video?
- Distinguished and Flagship. Established still gets Shorts.
How levels work
Three ladders, same idea: neighbours engaging with real content on this site help you climb. Rewards differ because a restaurant, a rec club, and a painter need different things.
Businesses
Who. Paid listings only (Established, Distinguished, Flagship). The free Verified floor has no Perks ladder — likes and views only move the 30-day directory score.
How you earn. Verified NFC taps plus likes and distinct daily views on this site. Neighbours tapping a Perks tag still matter most; Highlights, Shorts, and profile views also count, on tricitiesboard.org only.
What you unlock. Deal slots, ad credit, extra Highlights, AI credits, discovery, video bonus, campaign discount, medals at 10 / 20 / 30 / 40 / 50.
New Perks Partner → Community Builder → Local Favorite → Community Champion → Community Leader → Perks Legend
List a businessOrganizations

Showcase your workThe Board media team may reach out
At any time, the Tri Cities Board media team may contact a creative, a business, or an organization and offer to produce media for them at no cost. It is our choice to offer; they can decline. Level medals that include a produced spotlight or video are separate earned rewards. This is not a commercial you buy, not guaranteed, and not a substitute for posting your own Highlights or works.
