Tip: The higher you move up amongst the Pages Subscription plans, the more details you can add to your Page.
All Pages include a built-in contact form so people always have an easy way to reach out to Pages owners.
The email address used when signing up for the platform will be used as the default recipient address, but this can be changed at any time by editing your account details.
Pages owners can have their address shown for quick reference, as well as shown on a map, providing quick access to directions for users.
Members that are logged into our platform, can review Pages to help others make better-informed decisions.
As part of the reviews, users can give star-based ratings for specific areas, as well as give an overall star-based rating.
Listing owners can build up their reputation by accumulating positive ratings and reviews.
Everyone has to start somewhere and may not have their reputation built up, so not having any reviews isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
Reviews are always moderated, can only be submitted by registered users, and Listing owners cannot review their own Pages.
From your account dashboard, you can easily view valuable information about your overall Pages footprint on our platform, with the ability to filter by a particular Page and by a specific date range.
The analytics are laid out in a clean, simple, that’s easy to understand and digest.

It is really that simple, to have multiple Pages on our platform that might share a lot of the same information. For that, you can easily duplicate any of your existing Pages, in just a few steps.

- Choose the desired package to place the duplicated Listing under.
- Make any desired changes to what will be your new Listing.

To help people easily reach Pages owners and to help get Pages found in search engines, NAP (Name, Address, and Phone Number) is critical information to include in a Page.
While including a Name (i.e. Page Name) is a given, Pages can contain the following information, in an actionable format (ex. click-to-call) where possible, to make things even more convenient for users of the platform.
Links to Social Networks can be added to Pages and when a link is added, the name of the network and the corresponding icon are automatically added.
If someone chooses to click on one of the Social Networks, that network’s website will open in a new browser tab, so users can stay on the Listing.
Videos uploaded to services like YouTube or Vimeo can be easily embedded into a Page.
- Business or Brand Introduction Videos.
- Video Testimonials.
- Product Overview Videos.
- Video-based Guides

Bonus Image Galleries are great for showcasing products, past events, and more.
Up to 20 images can be added to a Bonus Image Gallery.
