How discovery and sponsorship work
Featured positions are paid advertising. Gretna first ranks Gretna, its nearby communities, the rest of Pittsylvania County, then the wider region. Within each area, results rotate hourly; highlighted profiles receive 1–4× weight according to their paid bid. Ratings, review counts, community votes and names control their own sort options. Each signed-in member can upvote or downvote once per listing, change direction or remove their vote. Votes do not change star reviews or replace reports of a problem. All profiles, including sponsors, must match your filters. Stars summarize approved Junction reviews and are never for sale.
Each listing is assigned by its address. Public-source listings remain unclaimed until ownership is confirmed.
