For Coin Shop Owners

Three ways to be on CoinsNearMe

Every coin shop in our database gets a free standard listing. From there, you can verify your ownership for trust, or upgrade to Featured for top placement.

Pick your tier

Most shops start with the free standard listing, claim and verify it, then upgrade to Featured once they see traffic in their first month.

How verification works

Verification is a one-time backlink check that confirms you own the shop. Takes a couple minutes to set up. Auto-verifies within a day.

1

Submit a claim

On your listing page, click "Claim this shop." Tell us your name, role, email, and your shop's website.

2

Add a backlink

Add a small "Listed on CoinsNearMe" link on your shop's website (footer is fine). We'll check for it automatically.

3

Get verified

Within a day, our verification script confirms the link and flips your listing to verified. You'll get an email when it's live.

Frequently asked questions

Is the free listing really free?

Yes. Every coin shop we know of gets a standard listing whether you ask for it or not. We pull from public sources to seed the directory. If your shop isn't already on the site, you can add it for free.

Why would I claim my listing if it's already there?

Claiming gives you a verified badge and lets you edit the listing yourself — update hours, add photos, fix anything we got wrong. Verified shops get more clicks because collectors trust them. It's free.

What does Featured actually get me?

Top placement on every state and city page (above the standard listings), a larger card with a photo and description, a direct backlink to your shop's website, the gold "Featured" badge, and priority placement in search. Full details on the advertise page.

How do I know it's working?

Featured shops get email notifications when someone clicks through to their site. We don't track sales (we're a directory, not a CRM), but you'll see traffic referrals from coinsnearme.co in your own analytics. If you don't see any traffic in your first 30 days, email us — we'll refund the month.

Can I cancel?

Anytime. From your billing page, in two clicks. No long-term contracts. If you cancel mid-month, you keep Featured placement until the end of the billing period.

Do you take a cut of sales?

No. We're a flat-fee subscription. Collectors find your shop on our site, click through to your website or call you directly, and the rest is between you and them. No middleman, no per-lead fees.

What about Coin Shows or store events?

Same model. Free standard listing for any event. Featured Event upgrade is $10/mo (or $100/year) for top placement on the events page. Use it for Coin Shows, store appraisals, or any event you're running. See pricing.

Who runs the site?

Coastal Directory LLC, a small independent business based on Long Island. Run by Joe Greve, no investors. The site is funded entirely by Featured subscriptions and event sponsorships.
