Pricing strategy

Tips for pricing your maps competitively.

Start competitive

For your first maps, price between $4.99 - $9.99 to build reviews and credibility.

Consider value

More places, unique spots, and detailed descriptions justify higher prices ($14.99+).

Offer a free map

Free maps help build trust and can funnel buyers to your paid content.

Watch the market

Check similar maps in your city to understand what buyers expect at each price point.

How to promote your maps

Strategies to get your maps discovered.

Social media

Share your maps on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter. Show off the places in your lists.

Great photos

SEO-friendly titles

Niche down

Specific maps ("Vegan Brunch Spots in Austin") often outperform broad ones.
