Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We've got answers.
You'll need a WordPress website (self-hosted), an OpenAI API key for AI content generation (costs about $0.01-0.05 per newsletter), and an account with one of our supported email providers (GetResponse, SendGrid, Mailgun, AWS SES, or SMTP.com).
All our plans are one-time payments with lifetime updates included. You'll only pay for your own hosting, email provider, and OpenAI API usage — we don't charge monthly fees for the plugin.
Plugin Only ($99): You get the plugin, theme, and documentation to install yourself.
Plugin + Install ($199): We install WordPress, the plugin, theme, configure your APIs, and set up your email provider.
Hands-Free ($499): Everything above plus full content setup, Facebook Page and Group creation, and a Facebook Ads campaign to kickstart your subscriber growth.
Our plugin uses OpenAI's GPT models to generate local content based on your city. It can create local events, restaurant updates, real estate snapshots, weather forecasts, community news, sports updates, and more. You can generate content with one click and edit before publishing.
Each license is for one WordPress installation. If you want to run newsletters for multiple cities, you'll need a separate license and WordPress installation for each city. Contact us for multi-site discounts!
We support GetResponse, SendGrid, Mailgun, AWS SES, and SMTP.com. You can track opens, clicks, bounces, and unsubscribes right from your WordPress dashboard. We're constantly adding more integrations.
Multiple ways! The plugin includes built-in ad slots for your newsletters, featured business listings in your directory, spotlight placements for premium visibility, and a business portal where businesses can manage their own listings. Many publishers charge $99-$149/month for premium directory spots.
Yes! We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee for the Plugin Only package. For installation packages, refunds are available before work begins. Once we start the installation or setup process, refunds are not available. Please review our terms for full details.
