Map Locator & Directions
Listing owners can have their address shown for quick reference.
Additionally, that location will be shown on a map, providing quick access to directions for users.
Ratings & Reviews
Listing owners can build up their reputation by accumulating positive ratings and reviews.
That said, everyone has to start somewhere and may not have their reputation built up.
Ratings and Reviews are always moderated and can only be submitted by registered users of the platform.
Direct Contact Info
To help people easily reach Listing owners and to help get Listings found in search engines, NAP (Name, Address, and Phone Number) is critical information to include in a Listing.
While including a Name (i.e. Listing Title) is a given, Listings 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.
- Phone Number
- Website
- Address
Social Media Links
Links to Social Networks can be added to Listings.
When a link is added the name of the network and the corresponding icon is 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.
Embed Video
Listing owners can include a link to one of their online videos (e.g. YouTube), which in turn embeds the video into their Listing.
Video Examples:
- Service Introductions
- Product Introductions
- Testimonials
- Tips and Tricks

Booking Integration
Calendly offers an easy, no-cost solution that allows people to schedule an appointment with you.
These appointments can sync up with your Google, Office 365, Outlook.com, Outlook, or Apple iCloud calendar.
It can take anywhere from 15-30 minutes to fully set up and test Calendly for one user, depending on your technical level.
For those that have Calendly set up and a qualifying Listing package, they can easily add the booking functionality to their Listing by simply copying and pasting in their Calendly profile link.
Note: For those that have a Listing package including Personalized Listing Support, we can help you get your Calendly link added to your Listing and answer questions for no additional cost.
If you would like to hire us to assist with the actual set up of your account, you can do so by scheduling a Calendly appointment.

This allows Listings to get even more exposure and increase the likelihood of visitors running through your own sales funnel.
Image Gallery
Image Galleries are essential for showcasing products, services, and more.
Up to 6 images can be uploaded to your gallery, for those with a qualifying Listing package.
Your image gallery also serves as your Listings cover image. This is the area at the top of your Listing that helps to quickly showcase what your Listing is about.
Note: If you do not upload any gallery images, we will automatically apply a default cover image to your Listing, using our branding.
Bonus Image Gallery
Bonus Image Galleries are great to showcase portfolios, past event photos, and more.
Up to 12 images can be uploaded to a Bonus Gallery, for those with a qualifying Listing package.
