# How FourBest Makes Money

**In short**

Three ways, all visible on the page. None of them changes who is in a four, the order, the ribbons or the quick choice.

## Where the money comes from

FourBest revenue sources and whether they affect the four

| Source | What it is | Changes the four? |
|---|---|---|
| Quote requests | A business pays a fee when you choose to send it a request | No |
| Enhanced profiles | Extra photos, project gallery and reports for claimed businesses | No |
| Sponsored boxes | A labelled spot outside the grid, marked “Sponsored” | No |

Your contact details only go to the businesses you tick, named in the form before you send.

## FAQ: who pays us

### Who pays FourBest?

Businesses, three ways: a fee per quote request you choose to send, enhanced profiles, and labelled sponsored boxes. Homeowners pay nothing.

### Can a business pay for a better spot in the four?

No. Fees never enter the score. Who makes the four, the order, the ribbons and the quick choice come from the published weights only.

### Are sponsored companies part of the grid?

No. A sponsored box sits outside the grid, marked “Sponsored”, and never takes one of the four places.

### Do you sell my details?

No. Your request goes only to the businesses you tick, named in the form before you send.
