01
You get featured
A short interview, written into a real article — your story, your business, your win, told properly.
Credibility, on the record
An article, a permanent directory listing, and a badge you put on your own site — the same "as featured" credibility PR has used for decades, built for businesses who aren't waiting on Forbes.
How it works
01
A short interview, written into a real article — your story, your business, your win, told properly.
02
A permanent, ranked listing — the part that keeps working long after the article stops getting clicks.
03
"As Featured On WRLDCLSS" — on your homepage, your proposals, your bios. The proof that does the talking before you do.

FAQ
Both get you a written article, a permanent directory listing, and the badge. Growth adds professional photos and graphics, priority placement in the directory, a fresh content piece every quarter, and weekly roundup inclusion with a social push on every mention.
Featured and Growth are setup fee plus a monthly fee on a 3, 6, or 12-month term — the listing and badge stay active while billing is active. Legacy Partner is $3,500 once, includes 12 months of featured placement, and then lets you choose a subscription or the permanent Hall of Fame. The title never expires either way.
Everything in Growth, plus a premium video feature, 12 months of top-of-category placement, a physical certificate, personal introductions to three other WRLDCLSS founders, and guaranteed inclusion in the year-end "Best of WRLDCLSS" roundup during Year 1. The Legacy Partner title and Hall of Fame listing are permanent.
The 2026 Founding Class is capped at 20 businesses to preserve scarcity and value. Once they're gone, this offer never returns — though future premium programs may open separately.
Yes — three months minimum on Featured and Growth. Term totals are setup fee plus monthly times the term length, listed in full in the terms table.
No. Features are limited on purpose to keep the directory credible. We review each application and tell you honestly if it isn't a fit.
On Featured and Growth the badge and active listing are tied to an active subscription. Legacy Partner badges are yours for good, and the Hall of Fame listing stays public even if you don't subscribe after Year 1.
Yes, in a real way. Your feature includes a genuine backlink from our site to yours (not a no-follow link), plus you get badge embed code that adds another link back to your feature page when you place it on your own site. Local businesses build authority partly through backlinks from active, relevant sites — this is one legitimate source of that, on top of the direct traffic and credibility.
