Commercial disclosure

# How we make money

ProjectGallery Local is free for homeowners. Businesses pay for bigger portfolios, labelled sponsored slots and the quote requests they receive.

Last revised October 29, 2026 [How projects get here](https://projectgallerylocal.com/methodology/)

## Where the money comes from

Revenue sources

| Product | Who pays | What it buys |
|---|---|---|
| Portfolio plans | Businesses | More projects, before-and-after pairs, analytics |
| Sponsored projects | Businesses | One project in a labelled slot outside the gallery |
| Quote requests | Businesses | A flat fee, only when a homeowner chooses to contact them |

## What money can't buy

- A place in the gallery order.
- A higher spot in the business lists, which follow our published score.
- A pass on the permit match or the image rights check.
- Style tags. Editors assign them from the photos.

## How you can tell

Anything paid for is labelled Sponsored and sits outside the gallery and the lists. Homeowners never pay, and we never sell your contact details: a quote request goes only to the businesses you tick.

## Money questions

### Can a business pay to show its projects first?

No. The gallery is ordered newest first by completion date, and payment never changes that order.

### What does a sponsored project look like?

It carries a Sponsored label and sits outside the gallery and the business list.

### Is asking for a quote free?

Yes, for homeowners. Some businesses pay us a flat fee for each request they receive.
