Paying never moves a business inside an answer. What is paid for is advertising, it is labelled, and you can see it.

Nice for local businesses
Nice knows your business. Help it know you.
Nice knows you by name only. It mapped the whole region, 772 businesses, so it knows where you are; what it does not know is who you are: what you do best, for whom, or when you open (80% are missing even that). And when someone asks, visitor or local, Nice saying it does not know sends the customer next door. Help it know you: what you tell it is exactly what it tells them.
Nice names you by category and area, and shows your hours and access details when your listing has them.
Nice informs and guides. You manage enquiries, appointments and payments directly.

Both columns are drawn by the same code that draws the real business pages. Nothing here is a mock-up: if Nice could not do it, it could not be shown.

Nothing moved up a list. The row got filled in, that is all.
One plan. One price. Everyone the same.
Be the business Nice can answer for
NZ$39+ GST · per month
NZ$44.85 per month in total, including 15% GST. If your business is GST registered, you claim it back.
On your bank statement the charge appears as CONNECTING QUEENSTOWN: Nice is a division of Connecting Queenstown LIMITED.
Being on the map costs nothing: Nice mapped the whole region, so it already talks about you. Registering is different: it makes the listing yours, complete and alive, and it costs NZ$39 + GST a month: the difference between Nice saying “opens at 9” and Nice saying “check it yourself”. There are no sizes and no tiers: the two-table café and the helicopter operator pay the same and get the same.
What works today
- Your details inside Nice: what you do, where you are, when you open and which languages you serve in.
- Your opening hours on the page, and with them the «Open now · until X» line your listing cannot say today.
- One line of your own, in your words and your language, instead of the list of what Nice does not know.
- Your photo instead of the generic one for your category: you send it to us and it replaces the catalogue shot.
- You write to us whenever something changes (hours, season, a closure, a public holiday) and Nice answers with it the same day.
- Your listing marked as confirmed by you, with the date you last confirmed it.
What is coming, already paid for
- Your own page inside Nice, with your photos and your logo, linked every time Nice names you.
- Your panel, to change it yourself instantly without writing to us: there is no weekly deadline here.
- Today's notice, for what expires: “the kitchen closes at 8:30 tonight”, “closed due to wind”. It expires on its own instead of staying up and lying.
- Your card on the home page, in the “Near you” row, with your photo, your line and your confirmed hours, the same size as everyone. And your complete listing in your category directory.
- The monthly receipt: how many times Nice named you, and how many people tapped to call you or to find you.
You would be one of the first
Nice is new and we are not going to dress that up: the list above arrives in parts over the coming months and we will tell you as each one lands. In return, the price you pay today stays yours for as long as you keep the plan, whatever it goes to later.
What the plan does not buy
It does not buy a place inside an answer. Nice recommends what answers the question someone asked, and the day that becomes purchasable it stops being useful to anyone. On the home page your card comes in by distance, like the free places do, and in the directory you keep your letter: what you pay for is a listing that is full and current, not one that goes first.
Start the plan
Billed monthly. To cancel, write to us and we cancel it: no questions and no phone calls. If you have just registered your business above, the payment is linked to your listing; if not, write to us and we will link it.
Advertising, separate. Labelled. Optional.
Your week on the board
NZ$49+ GST · per week
NZ$56.35 for the week in total, with 15% GST. The opening week runs at half price: NZ$24.50 + GST, NZ$28.18 in total.
Besides your card on the home page, which comes with the plan, there is a board: This Week, the page for what is on this week, with markets, free events and the fixtures sorted by day. The house fills it and people visit it on purpose. A week of advertising there is optional and costs extra: your card, the same size as every other, with its label in plain sight, in all three languages.
How it works
- You send us in writing what you are announcing, when, and a photo: Nice writes the card in the house style, in all three languages.
- Every card is the same size and the day's order rotates with each publish: being first is not for sale here either.
- The advertising label is printed on the card. It is the law and it is the house promise: what is paid can be told by looking.
- Space is limited: twelve cards a week, in order of arrival.
It goes with the plan, not instead of it
The board is for businesses on the NZ$39 plan: your card links to your listing, and a paid click must never land on an empty page. Weeks are booked in writing: once your plan is active we write to you, and you book yours in that same thread.
