Bike Shop Partners Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions regarding our bike shop partnerships
For instance, the landing page for New York City bike shop would be an example of a Tier 1 City.
Tier 1 Cities are more valuable due to their population density and market size.
Tier 1 Cities are only available to Platinum Partners.
Exclusive access to traffic, sales and leads for Tier 1 Cities are given to the Platinum Partners for a given city.
Tier 2 Cities include the 900 other cities we have content for that are not in Tier 1.

No.
However, once a city is forfeited for exclusivity, other partners in wait can claim it and exclusivity disappears.
As an exclusive Partner, you will have the ability to provide input for content edits on your city's landing page, including co-branding with your bike shop's logo.
For instance, Seattle bike shop page might include specific detail on the services provided by that partner, including a list of bike shop managers and team members, services provided and a list of the available rental fleet.
Our web development team at DEV.co will work with you to ensure your landing page fits with your brand and ours.
Multi-city and state exclusivity is available at a discounted bulk rate.
However, the partnering bike shop must demonstrate the ability and scope reach to service multiple jurisdictions.
