during the contest and the guide will continue to grow after the
contest concludes.
Can I set up a computer at my business and have customers vote when they come into the store?
While it is possible for you to do this, you run the risk of having your customers’ legitimate votes caught in our fraud detection filters. Although you are encouraged to get your customers to vote for you, we do not support this type of voting behavior.
I know that many people have voted for me recently; why haven’t I moved up in the standings?
The standings represent percentages of the total number of votes received for a specific category. While you may be gathering additional votes, so too may other businesses in your category. If everyone is gaining similar numbers of votes, then the percentages may not appear to change much.
