Business pins on Brikoula: your shop on the map, rented by the day

Every other pin type on Brikoula is free and open to everyone. Business pins are the exception in two ways: they are reserved for professionals, and they are rented by the day. Both rules exist for the same reason—to keep the map honest and ensure that visibility is meaningful.

What a Business Pin Is

A pin placed on your shop, workshop, clinic, agency, or restaurant, visible to everyone browsing the map in your area during the days you have booked. Your profile, photos, opening hours, and reviews travel with it. It is like a shop sign, except it appears on the map that people actually use.

Why Daily Rental Is the Right Model

Because your visibility should match your business needs. A pastry shop wants visibility during the week before Eid; a stationery store wants September; a beach restaurant wants the summer season. Renting by the day means you pay for visibility only when it benefits your business—and the map never fills up with inactive pins from businesses that closed years ago.

Making the Pin Worth the Cost

Complete your professional profile first: verify your identity, upload real photos of your business, and add your opening hours. A pin that leads to an empty profile is a wasted investment.

Choose the right timing: market days, holiday seasons, or the week of a local event that brings crowds to your street. A nearby event pin creates free foot traffic—make sure your business is visible when it happens.

Explain what customers can expect. Your description is your storefront. “Fresh msemen every morning until 11” is far more compelling than simply saying “bakery.”

Reviews build over time. Every satisfied customer you serve through the app makes your future rental days even more valuable.

Fair Rules for Everyone

Business pins are reserved exclusively for verified professionals. The same identity checks that protect customers in the taxi category also protect the integrity of the business map. One pin represents one genuine business location—the map is a public space, not a billboard filled with advertisements.

Where Brikoula Fits

Book your days, place your pin on your business location, and turn neighbourhood map traffic into customers walking through your door. For customers, it is just as simple: the businesses displayed on the map are real, professional, and open today—which is exactly why being among them has real value.
