We're Metro Atlanta's Index for Black-Owned Businesses, Organizations, Brands, Artists & Influencers. For as little as $1, you get a permanent listing in our Index and a spot on our live advertising leaderboard. As a way to help support black entrepreneurs: We provide an optional Revenue Share Program, where up to 90% of our company revenue gets paid to all listed members of our Index, every two weeks.

We built it this way because good businesses and talented creatives shouldn't disappear just from lack of visibility or lack of support. Most of the usual ways to help Black-owned businesses, artists, and brands are either hard to access, things like grants, mentorship programs, or paid conferences that only reach a select few, or they don't put anything back in your pocket, like standard directories that just sell you a name badge with no real value behind it.

This isn't another static directory, it's a modern, disrupting startup rebuilding how support for the Black economy actually works. The Index closes both gaps at once. It gives you real exposure on a live, ranked platform alongside businesses, brands, and creatives alike, and it gives sponsors and supporters one simple way to back the entire community in a single move instead of guessing where their support will actually land. Every dollar that comes in, whether from a listing, an ad boost, or a direct sponsor gift, flows into the same Revenue Share Program, creating a shared economic loop where everyone wins.

No. Your ad spend ($1 minimum) locks in a permanent ad spot in our directory that never resets. To keep your listing active and eligible for cash rewards, simply complete a 1-click email validation prompt sent each year in April.

Every 7th and 21st of the month at 12:01 AM, snapshots of The Index (full directory) are taken. 50% of directory ad revenue and 90% of sponsorships are programmatically distributed to all verified listed businesses via Cash App ($Cashtag) or Zelle using our fair revenue-sharing formula. If a scheduled payout date falls on a weekend or holiday, payouts will be processed on the next business day.

Simply through two main streams:

• Sponsors: 90% of every sponsorship goes directly back into the Bi-Weekly Revenue Share.
• Listing Boosting (Ad Spend): 50% of every dollar spent boosting a listing goes back into the Bi-Weekly Revenue Share.

We work every day advertising the platform and finding sponsors who believe in supporting the whole Black business economy, not just one business at a time.

No signup or password required. You simply enter your business name, website/social link, contact email, and payout handle during checkout. Your listing goes live instantly!

If your business is already listed and you want to climb higher, simply click the Boost button on your listing card (or type your business name at checkout) to increase your ad spend. You only pay the incremental difference (e.g. if your current total ad spend is $25 and you want to reach $50, you only pay $25). Your new ad spend stacks onto your total placement amount, instantly pushing your rank up!

Yes. If your business or organization prefers to decline payout distributions, select "Opt Out — Type DECLINE" in the payout method field. Your mathematical allocation remains in the index revenue share and is automatically redistributed to other active participants.

Community sponsors, corporate partners, and allies can make a direct impact to the whole index, you keep our engine running. 90% of every sponsorship goes straight into the ATLBBB revenue share program, funding the cash rewards for all listed members at once.

Traditional advertising platforms let the biggest wallets buy out the entire market, pushing local brands to the bottom. The Atlanta Black Business Board flips the script. We intentionally engineered our formula to keep the playing field level, keep the index highly competitive, and ensure real, working Metro Atlanta businesses get the heaviest financial support:

• Small Budgets: Receive a massive introductory percentage multiplier so even $1 listings walk away with a guaranteed, meaningful cash reward.
• The Mid-Tier "Sweet Spot": Is mathematically rewarded the most. Growing businesses that actively invest a competitive ad spend trigger the highest multiplication rate in our formula, earning the largest overall share of the bi-weekly pool.
• Giant Budgets: Hit a natural curve of diminishing returns. While top spots command maximum spotlight and direct traffic, this cap stops a single massive entity from monopolizing the entire index revenue share.

Our unique, community-first ecosystem balances exposure and cash rewards so that every tier of business thrives:

• Top-Tier Placements: Brands at the top command maximum views, traffic, and direct clicks to their business. Because they receive the highest level of exposure, their cash reward rate scales down slightly, which fuels the rest of the community.
• Mid-Tier Placements: Businesses in the middle receive the absolute largest share of the platform's cash rewards. By taking a step back in raw exposure, they gain the highest financial return on their ad spend.
• Base-Tier Placements: The foundational listings provide the stability, scale, and credibility that makes a growing platform successful. In return, they receive the highest percentage multiplier on their ad dollar, alongside a permanent live listing.
• Platform Sponsors: Sponsors receive premier front-page recognition, permanent backlinks on our dedicated Sponsorship page, and exclusive upcoming network perks.
