Advertising prices and building tiers
List your website, Instagram, TikTok or X profile for free. Confirmed ranking bids add to your listing’s stake; higher stake means a higher rank within its district. No purchase guarantees visitors, followers or sales.
How to create a free listing
- Open the city, select Kiosk Free, then Continue with Kiosk.
- Choose Websites, Instagram, TikTok or X. Add your link, name, a one-line description and contact email. A square image URL is optional.
- Keep the amount at $0 and select Build a free kiosk. Accepted listings open on their public listing page without a card payment.
Describe what visitors will find at your link. Listings follow the listing policy. A listing promotes your destination inside BidToViral; it does not buy posts or ad delivery on Instagram, TikTok or X.
Keep your public listing URL to revisit or share its recorded clicks. For account access or content corrections, contact the operator and include that URL.
Grow with cumulative rank stake
These are total USD stake milestones, not separate building fees or subscriptions. Your first paid bid starts at $10; later top-ups start at $2. For example, a $10 Shop needs another $40 in ranking bids to reach a $50 Studio.
| Building | Total stake | Appearance |
|---|---|---|
| Kiosk | Free | A little place to start. |
| Shop | $10+ | Put your name on the street. |
| Studio | $50+ | Give your brand more room. |
| Tower | $250+ | Become part of the skyline. |
| Landmark | $1,000+ | Make an unmistakable entrance. |
Ranking stake has no scheduled expiry. Rank can change when another listing receives bids; refunds or reversals can reduce stake. Some launch and existing buildings keep complimentary architecture. That changes their appearance, not their paid rank.
Optional brand upgrades and scheduled placements
These purchases do not add ranking stake or unlock a stake milestone. The fast map marks your upgrades; switch to 3D city to explore the detailed showcases.

Central Square: weekly landmark auction
Central Square is a separate seven-day branded landmark and city spotlight. Offers start at $10 USD, with a minimum raise of $1. The highest eligible offer wins; only the winner pays, through checkout. Making an offer does not authorize an automatic charge.
Bidding closes Sunday at 18:00 UTC. The winner has until 19:00 UTC to pay for the seven-day window beginning then. An unpaid winner forfeits. You must own an active listing and have a verified email to be eligible. This purchase does not add permanent ranking stake or guarantee views or clicks.
Open City hall in the advertising city for the current offers, eligibility and exact dates. A separate Takeover booking buys a homepage banner for 3, 12 or 24 hours at its quoted price; it is not the Central Square auction.
Different platforms, different showcases
Instagram: Creator gallery. A profile gallery with oversized portrait frames and a rose-colored exhibition backdrop.
Website: Brand pavilion. A glass entrance, branded rooftop arch and planted approach for your company.
X: Newsroom pavilion. A broadcast podium, headline mast and antenna around your profile.
TikTok: Performance stage. A concert-style stage with twin speaker stacks, a branded backdrop and a crown of equalizer bars.
What is measured
Public listing pages show ranking stake and recorded outbound clicks. People and vehicles in the city are animated scenery. Click filtering excludes known bots and deduplicates visitors daily, but does not promise every click is human. Read the measurement method.
Before you pay
Paid listings remain subject to moderation. Read the terms and refund policy. The separate Takeover booking has its own window and bidding rules.
