Your position. Your company story. More ways to connect.

We confirm the placement and routing scope for your category before enrollment.

A fixed tier among the ten expanded directory placements in the agreed category; a dedicated profile with input on layout, section order and conversion links; relevant direct website or quote-form links; 2–11 supporting pages per membership year; visibility work; quarterly reporting; and approved Lead Exchange membership with credit-only standard claims once the exchange opens. The first term runs through November 30, 2027, with a first opportunity to renew under your agreement. Only the $9,000, $10,000 and $11,000 paid MCA tiers receive the two merchant and ISO inquiry round-robins.

Platinum members can help shape profile layout, section arrangement and conversion links, including relevant links to their website, contact page or quote form. Information must remain accurate and supportable. Membership does not purchase favorable reviews, ratings or editorial conclusions.

Your company can remain a small text link toward the bottom of the MCA directory, outside the ten expanded Platinum listings. Its profile’s “Get a Quote” links route to MCA Shield’s quote form instead of directly to your website. The additional annual supporting pages, profile-layout input and quarterly reporting included with Platinum are not included. An unselected paid tier can be offered to another MCA company. You can still apply for the limited-time free Lead Exchange membership.

Your purchased tier stays fixed for the agreed membership term and does not rotate daily. The first term runs through November 30, 2027 and includes prelaunch time if you join before launch. Continuing paid placement requires renewal. You receive the first opportunity to renew your tier before it is offered to another company, subject to your agreement; this is not a lifetime placement.

The $11,000 tier has first priority, followed by $10,000, $9,000 and so on down to $2,000. While higher tiers are vacant, your listing may appear higher among enrolled companies, then moves below higher paid tiers as they fill. Temporary display position does not change lead eligibility: only the $9,000, $10,000 and $11,000 paid MCA tiers qualify for the two inquiry round-robins.

The $9,000, $10,000 and $11,000 paid MCA tiers share two separate streams: direct merchant inquiries submitted through MCA Shield’s quote form, and MCA debt relief ISO/referral-partner inquiries generated through ISO-focused traffic and forms. Each eligible inquiry goes to one participating member on its turn. These are separate from standard credit-based exchange claims. An ISO inquiry is not automatically a merchant lead or signed partnership. Routing and start dates are confirmed before enrollment.

No. The $2,000–$8,000 tiers do not qualify for either MCA inquiry round-robin, even when temporarily displayed among the first three listings. They retain all other included Platinum benefits, including profile links, supporting pages, reporting and credit-only standard exchange claims.

Platinum is available before the exchange opens. Your agreement confirms profile publication, directory placement, supporting-page scheduling, reporting and inquiry-routing start dates. The first membership term ends November 30, 2027, with prelaunch time included for early enrollment. Standard exchange claims begin at opening, scheduled by November 30, 2026 and subject to approval, completion of safeguards and the necessary compliance review.

Earn one credit when another member claims your accepted referral submitted with the prospect’s permission. Submission alone does not earn a credit. Active Platinum standard claims use one credit with no $40 cash fee; non-Platinum claims use one credit plus $40. No starting credits or guaranteed inventory are included. Bulk purchases remain separately priced. Direct merchant and ISO round-robin inquiries are separate benefits reserved for the $9,000–$11,000 paid MCA tiers.

One professionally written supporting page per membership year for every $1,000 of annual placement spend: $2,000 includes 2 pages, $7,000 includes 7 and $11,000 includes 11. Pages address relevant company-specific questions, use supportable information, and link to your profile and relevant website pages. We agree a publication schedule. This is content for your MCA Shield presence, not a separate SEO retainer for your own website.

Five priorities: attributable inquiries and lead activity; profile and supporting-page traffic; website and contact-option clicks; available traffic-source, search-query, impression and click data; and visitor pathways and drop-off points. Merchant and ISO round-robin allocations are separated for eligible tiers. Reports compare quarters as history becomes available and summarize next priorities. Clicks are not completed inquiries, and activity on your own website requires suitable tracking or shared reporting.

No. They show selected search snapshots. Positions can change by date, location, device and search personalization. AI placements are identified separately from standard search listings. Company-research examples do not imply that the named company purchased Platinum, and a search result for BBB-related terms is not a BBB endorsement. Screenshots show visibility; they do not establish traffic, lead quantity or sales.

Paid directory placement is disclosed and ordered by the purchased tier. It does not buy a favorable review, rating, endorsement or a “best company” designation. Profiles and articles use verifiable company information.

Yes. Lead Exchange membership is free for a limited time, subject to approval and opening. Non-Platinum standard claims cost one earned credit plus $40; bulk purchases have separate pricing. Free membership does not include Platinum directory placement, profile-layout input, annual supporting pages, quarterly reports or either MCA inquiry round-robin. The limited-time free offer does not promise permanently free membership.

No. Direct merchant inquiries from MCA Shield’s quote form are included through the round-robin for the $9,000, $10,000 and $11,000 paid MCA tiers. They are not available for individual purchase by free members or lower-tier Platinum members. Standard exchange claims and separately priced bulk purchases remain distinct.

Yes. Mention a promotional partnership in your inquiry and include your LinkedIn profile and audience details. Any complimentary placement, promotional requirements, supporting-page allowance and term must be agreed in writing. Applying or posting alone does not reserve a tier. The two MCA inquiry round-robins are reserved for the $9,000, $10,000 and $11,000 paid tiers.

Payments to MCA Shield for Platinum membership and directory placement are non-refundable, except as required by applicable law. No full or prorated refunds are provided for voluntary cancellation, unused membership time, or unused benefits. Review your category, purchased tier, included services and start date before paying. Submitting an inquiry does not enroll you or collect payment.

Use the MCA placement reservation page to check availability and create a temporary hold. After reserving, save your private management link and complete the agreement and payment arrangements before the hold expires. A hold does not collect payment or confirm enrollment. Our inquiry form below only requests a follow-up. Your agreement confirms the first term through November 30, 2027 and your first opportunity to renew the tier before it is offered to another company, subject to the agreed renewal terms. Other categories have separate inventory and publication arrangements.
