Be the first facility
every tournament family sees.
Families searching here are deciding where to train this weekend.
For brands: reach families actively planning where to play and train.
This isn't an ad network. It's a recommendation.
You're not competing for impressions — you're being chosen.
Your facility shows up when families are actively searching nearby — not buried in a list.
WhereToHit is where parents go when they're planning — not browsing. They have a tournament this weekend. They need a cage before Friday. Featured placements put your facility in front of that intent, not past it.
This is what families see.
Your facility pinned first — gold-bordered, highlighted, and clearly recommended above every other result nearby.

Common questions
What if I'm not the closest facility to every user?
That's the whole point. Featured overrides distance sorting. A family 20 miles away still sees you first — before every unfeatured venue in your metro, regardless of how close they are.
Can another facility in my market also be featured?
Up to 2–3 slots exist per metro. Slot 1 ($79/mo) gets gold treatment and first position. Slots 2–3 ($49/mo) appear second and third with an amber border. No two facilities share the same slot.
What counts as my "metro"?
Coverage is based on your facility's coordinates — roughly 20 miles. That covers the typical tournament travel radius. A family within that radius sees you first when they search.
What is the Venue Spotlight on other facility pages?
When a family visits another batting cage page within your metro, your listing appears as a "Venue Spotlight" at the bottom of that page — full photo, description, and link. It's passive reach to families who are already researching your market.
What is a Spotlight Position and how is it different?
A Featured Slot is bottom-of-funnel — families ready to book near your location. A Spotlight Position is top-of-funnel — a full-width carousel card above all search results, shown site-wide within your territory. Four geo tiers are available: Metro (one city), State (one state), Regional (multi-state), and National (all 50 states). Max 2 slots per tier — Slot 1 is prime position. Built for brands, chains, and premium facilities reaching families before they've decided where to go.
How fast does a Featured Slot go live?
Featured Slots and Spotlight Positions activate automatically within minutes of payment confirmation — no manual steps required. Stripe confirms the payment and your placement goes live immediately.
Can I cancel?
Yes, cancel anytime. Your featured status stays active until the end of the current billing period.
