GRANITE CITY, Ill., June 19, 2026 Wildfire CityPages today announced the launch of its free Name Plate listing, a no-cost directory entry available to any business located within a 50-mile radius of the Gateway Arch. The Name Plate functions like a modern Yellow Pages entry, giving local businesses a presence in the Wildfire CityPages directory without any upfront investment.
To claim a listing, businesses simply submit their business name or suggest the name as it should appear in the directory. Because CityPages directories are editor-built rather than self-populated, the Name Plate option allows Wildfire to seed its directories with complete, accurate business coverage from day one.
The free tier is especially critical to the platform's growing Eats directories, which catalog every restaurant and food establishment in the region. "We needed the Name Plate, free option, to build out our Eats directories," said George Sykes, President of Wildfire Internet. "Eats directories can't grow organically, we need to prime them with every restaurant in the area."
Businesses ready to do more can upgrade to one of four paid packages, sized like t-shirts for simplicity. The S package adds basic admin and marketing tools. The M package includes a city-level banner placement. The L package extends reach with a state-level banner in either Illinois or Missouri. The XL package provides full regional marketing and banner coverage across the entire Gateway footprint. All paid packages, include access to the CityPage Business Hub.
Businesses interested in claiming a free Name Plate listing or learning about upgrade options can contact Wildfire CityPages at sykes@wildfire.net.
