In short: You can advertise a small business in Miami for under $100 a year with a sign on SeeMe City. A building costs $29, $49 or $79 for a full year, paid once, and most setups with extra signs still come in under $100. Every sign can carry a coupon, and you see your own numbers.
How much does it cost to advertise on SeeMe City?
A SeeMe City sign costs from $29 a year. A small building with its main sign is $29, a mid-size building is $49, and a tall building is $79. You pay once by card, and nothing renews by itself. At $29, that works out to about 8 cents a day.
The price list shows every option.
What can I get for under $100 a year?
Most combinations of building size and extra signs cost less than $100 a year. Here is what each one costs for a full year.
| Setup | Per year |
|---|---|
| Small building, main sign | $29 |
| Small building, main sign and shop sign | $39 |
| Small building, all three signs | $69 |
| Mid-size building, main sign | $49 |
| Mid-size building, all three signs | $89 |
| Tall building, main sign | $79 |
| Tall building, main sign and shop sign | $89 |
"All three signs" means the main sign, a shop sign over the door (+$10 a year) and a rooftop billboard (+$30 a year). A tall building with all three comes to $119, so that one is over $100.
Moving signs are leased by the month: the side of a bus is $49 and the blimp is $199.
What do I get for the money?
You get a sign that is up day and night for a full year, plus a page, a coupon spot and your own numbers.
- A main sign on your building. A shop sign over the door and a rooftop billboard are optional.
- A coupon on any sign. Visitors find it in the Deals list and copy the code with one tap.
- A page for your building with your name, your offer and a link to your website. Search engines can read it.
- A private owner page with views, time on screen, link clicks, coupon copies and card opens for the last 30 days.
- A link to your building that you can share with customers.
How do I get a sign on Ocean Ave?
You pick a building, make your sign, add a coupon if you want one, and pay once by card.
- Pick a building. Walk the street first, or go straight to a lease.
- Make your sign. Type your name, pick a style and colors, and add a logo, or upload your own design. You see it on the building as you type. Our sign tips can help.
- Add a coupon and a link, if you want them.
- Pay once by card. The total shows before you pay, and nothing renews by itself.
- Wait for the check. A person looks at every sign, usually within a day. If it can't be approved, you get a full refund.
The street holds your building while you design your sign and pay, currently for 30 minutes. If you run out of time, the hold ends and the building opens up again.
Will a sign bring me customers?
No one can promise that, and SeeMe City does not. The street is brand new, so there are no results to show you yet.
What you get is a low, fixed cost, a coupon that gives people a reason to act, and your own numbers. Your private page shows the last 30 days, so you can judge your sign for yourself. Nothing renews by itself, so you decide whether to pay for a second year.
How does this compare with other ways to advertise?
A SeeMe City sign is a different kind of ad, not a cheaper copy of the usual ones. Search ads and social ads usually charge as they run, by the click or by the day, so your cost depends on your budget. A physical billboard is usually rented by the month and costs far more. A SeeMe City sign is one payment for a year.
It is a fun, browsable place with coupons, and it is not a replacement for search ads. For a closer look, read SeeMe City vs flyers, social ads and billboards.
