Every extra photo is moderated

Membership never bypasses BritSquare photo review. New gallery photos remain pending until approved. Pro submissions receive priority in the moderation queue, not automatic approval.

🧭

Membership β‰  Explorer XP

Your membership level controls square-owner features. Explorer XP and achievements are a separate activity and progression system available across BritSquare.

⬆️

Benefits build with each level

Plus includes Free features, Explorer includes Plus features, and Pro includes everything below it plus Pro-only tools.

What the richer tools actually do

⭐ Owner’s Pick & seasons

Plus owners can highlight a favourite approved gallery image and organise views by Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

πŸ“ Local Tips

Share useful knowledge about the square, such as viewpoints, walks, parking or the best time to visit.

πŸ•°οΈ Then & Now

Explorer owners can pair approved photos to show how a place has changed over time.

πŸ“Œ Points of Interest

Add multiple interesting locations inside the square, each with its own name and description.

πŸ† Challenges & Trivia

Give visitors things to find, try or learn while exploring your square.

πŸ“Š Insights & Pro Analytics

Explorer sees visitor insights; Pro adds richer figures including recent and unique visitor activity.

πŸ† Pro Cover

Pro owners can select an approved gallery image to become the featured cover for their square.

⚑ Priority Moderation

Pro gallery submissions are highlighted and placed earlier in the admin review queue, while still requiring approval.

πŸͺ Verified Local Business

Pro owners with an active BritSquare can apply to verify a genuine business operating inside that square. Approval is separate from Pro membership and is designed to prevent spam or unrelated advertising.

Run a business in your BritSquare?

Pro members can apply for Verified Local Business status once their square is active. Business tools will connect genuine local businesses with people discovering the places around them.
