From application to featured, in four steps.
Getting on The Dating List is simple, human-reviewed, and free to start. Here's exactly what happens after you apply — and how you grow from there.
- 01
Apply
Tell us about your spot. It takes a couple of minutes.
Share the essentials — name, category, the areas you serve, hours, and the links daters need. Anyone can apply; there's no cost to start and no contract to sign.
- Restaurants, bars, activities, experiences — all welcome
- One business or a whole group of locations
- No credit card required to apply
- 02
Get approved
We review, polish, and publish so your listing looks its best.
Our editorial team checks the details, tidies the copy, and places you in the right categories and regions. Once you're live, daters can find you in search, in category browsing, and on the map.
- Human review — no auto-generated filler
- Placed in the correct categories and NY / NJ / CT regions
- You get a partner login to manage everything
- 03
Manage & measure
Edit your profile and watch the numbers that matter.
Update hours, photos, menus, and booking links whenever you like. Every change is quick-approved by our team so the directory stays trustworthy. Meanwhile your dashboard tracks how many daters view, click, and add you to their plans.
- Quick-approved edits — usually same business day
- Full analytics: views, clicks, directions, saves and more
- Monthly performance snapshot
- 04
Grow with placements
Buy your way to the top when you're ready.
When you want more reach, add a featured placement — the Homepage Hero, a Discover Featured slot, the #1 rank in your category, or a Deal Banner for a special offer. Every placement is clearly labelled as Featured or Sponsored.
- Month-to-month, no long-term commitment
- Always disclosed as Featured / Sponsored
- Track impressions and clicks against your spend
What you can edit — anytime
Your listing is yours to keep current. Update it as often as you like; our team quick-approves changes so the directory stays accurate and trustworthy for daters. Most edits go live the same business day.
- Hours & availability
- Photos & gallery
- Category & tags
- Website, booking & menu links
- Description & highlights
- Contact & location details
Why the quick review? Every listing is verified by a person, which is exactly why daters trust what they find here. Edits ride the same lightweight approval — fast for you, reliable for them.
