How this rank works
Directory rank is set by bid, not by editorial opinion. New listings start at $5, a higher bid outranks a lower one, and taking #1 costs at least $5 more than the current top bid. Paid ranks always carry a Sponsored label, and payments are final and non-refundable. This listing sits at the $5 floor as a PikyAI house listing, not a paid rank.
