Get Your Business Featured on Bato
Stand out from every other Iranian business in your city. Featured listings appear at the top of search results, carry a gold badge, and get seen first by Farsi-speaking customers across the US and Canada.
A Featured Listing Stands Out Instantly
When a Farsi-speaking customer searches your category or city, this is the difference between a standard listing and a Bato Featured listing.

What You Get With a Featured Listing
A featured listing on Bato gives your Iranian business priority visibility and a clear visual edge over every other listing in your category and city.
Top of Search Results
Your business appears first when Farsi-speaking customers search your category or city — ahead of every standard listing.
Gold Featured Badge
A distinct gold ‘Featured’ badge appears on your listing, instantly signaling trust and prominence to Farsi-speaking customers.
Homepage Spotlight
Featured businesses are rotated into a spotlight section on the Bato homepage, putting you in front of every visitor — not just those actively searching.
More Calls & Clicks
Top placement and the trust signal of a featured badge naturally drive more calls, direction requests, and website visits to your business.
Limited Competitor Visibility
Bato limits featured spots per category, per city — meaning fewer competing businesses can outrank you while your feature is active.
Full Profile Showcase
Featured listings can display extra details — like your website link, expanded description, and additional contact options — giving customers more reasons to choose you.
Get Featured in 3 Simple Steps
Upgrading your existing Bato listing to a Featured listing takes just a few minutes.
✅ Have an Active Listing
Your business must already have a standard listing on Bato. If you have not listed your business yet, you can create one and request featured placement at the same time.
⭐ Request to Get Featured
Tap ‘Get Featured’ inside the Bato app on your business listing, or reach out to our team through the Contact Us page. Tell us your business category and city.
🚀 Go Live as a Featured Business
Once confirmed, your listing receives the gold Featured badge and moves to the top of your category and city search results immediately.
Is Featured Placement Right for Your Business?
Featured listings work best for Iranian business owners who want to dominate their category in a competitive city.
Businesses in Competitive Cities
If you are in Los Angeles, Toronto, or another city with many Iranian businesses in your category, featured placement helps you rise above the competition.
New Businesses Building Awareness
Just opened your Iranian business? Featured placement gives you an immediate visibility boost while you build a customer base and reputation.
Seasonal & High-Demand Periods
Tax season for accountants, Nowruz for restaurants and shops, back-to-school for tutors — featured placement helps you capture demand during peak times.
Businesses Ready to Grow Faster
If you are relying on word-of-mouth alone and want consistent new customer flow, featured placement accelerates discovery within the Farsi-speaking community.
Featured Placement Across the App
Your featured listing appears in multiple high-visibility locations throughout Bato, not just one place.

Featured Listing FAQs
What is the difference between a standard and featured listing?
A standard listing appears in normal search order and is completely free. A featured listing receives a gold badge, top placement in search results and category pages, and a spot in the homepage spotlight rotation.
Do I need an existing listing before requesting featured placement?
Yes, your business needs an active Bato listing first. If you have not listed your business yet, you can create your listing and request featured placement in the same step.
How long does featured placement last?
Featured placement runs alongside your 60-day listing cycle. When you renew your listing, you can also renew your featured placement to stay at the top.
Is there only one featured spot per category and city?
Bato limits the number of featured spots within each category and city combination to keep featured placement meaningful and competitive — not crowded. Contact our team to check current availability for your category and city.
How do I request featured placement?
Tap ‘Get Featured’ on your business listing inside the Bato app, or reach out through our Contact Us page and select ‘Business Owner’ as your subject. Our team will guide you through the next steps.
Can I switch back to a standard listing later?
Yes. If you choose not to renew your featured placement after it expires, your listing simply continues as a standard listing — it never disappears from Bato.
