Listing 101:

A “Listing” is a your customizable billboard—a verified space where you can showcase your brand and tell your story.

Listings are like prime real estate: when you invest in them, they can generate significant returns by helping you get discovered and extending your reach.

MetroPops is making it easier to find local vegan, plant-based, and other interesting businesses and content quickly. By adding clear and engaging information to your listing, you make it even simpler for people to connect with you and your offerings.

We’re proud to offer an affordable platform designed by locals, for locals, giving our community the tools to promote and present themselves effectively.

Your Listing Type determines not only how you’ll be categorized and found on the site, but also what type of information you’ll be able to provide based on your type of business. 

There are currently 3 listing types:

1. Food & Drink – restaurants, cafes, bars, food trucks, meal service, grocery stores, catering, etc.
2. Lifestyle – shops, boutiques, animal sanctuaries, museums, non-profits, podcasts, and more.
3. Events – does your event have a sustainable, plant-based, educational or cultural focus? Use this!
