FAQ

Questions about being featured.

Is being featured really free?

Yes. A Built in San Diego feature costs nothing. We write it, publish it, and link to you. There's no fee and no catch.

Who can be featured?

North County San Diego local business owners - the founders, operators, and builders behind the businesses that make this community worth living in. If you run a real business here, you can be featured.

What do I actually get?

A professionally written article about you and your business, published on the Revvia Journal, with a live backlink to your site - plus a copy you're free to use anywhere.

Do I own the content?

Yes. The story is about you - put it on your site, your socials, wherever you like. We keep it published here too.

What's the catch - are you going to sell me something?

No catch. We do this because we love this community and it's how people get to know Revvia. We may eventually reach out about working together - but never during the interview, and never as a condition of being featured.
