Common Questions

How do leads work?
When a parent visits your service+town page and fills out an inquiry, you get their name, phone, email, care needs, and timeline delivered straight to your inbox. You contact them directly — no middleman, no bidding, no competitors getting the same lead.
What if the spot for my service and town is already taken?
You can join the waitlist. We'll notify you the moment the spot opens up. The current holder keeps their spot as long as they stay subscribed — nobody gets kicked out. First on the waitlist, first to get offered the spot.
How many leads will I get?
It depends on search volume for your service and town. Some combos (like daycare in White Plains) get more traffic than others. Our pages are built for Google — traffic grows every month as our SEO rankings improve. You can check Google Search Console data for your specific pages in your dashboard.
Can I cover multiple towns?
Yes. Each service+town combo is a separate subscription. If you run a daycare that serves White Plains, Scarsdale, and Yonkers, that's 3 spots at $49/mo each ($147/mo total). Many providers start with their strongest town and expand.
How is this different from Care.com or Yelp?
Care.com is a nanny and babysitter marketplace — it's not built for daycare centers or preschools. They were fined $8.5 million by the FTC in 2024 for inflating listings. Yelp charges $300-$1,000/month in ads and has been accused of suppressing positive reviews for non-advertisers. KCF is built specifically for licensed childcare providers, costs $49/month flat, and every parent inquiry goes exclusively to you.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from your dashboard or the Stripe billing portal. Your Featured status stays active until the end of your billing period. Annual subscribers get a guaranteed spot lock for the full year.
What if I don't get any leads?
Our pages are ranking on Google and traffic grows every month as our SEO compounds. At $49/month, a single new enrollment covers years of the subscription. Most childcare providers spend more than that on a single month of Yelp or Google Ads without any guarantee of results.
Do I need a website?
No. Your listing works great with just a phone number. Featured providers get the option to add a website link, but it's not required. Your KCF profile IS your web presence for that service+town.
