Adding locations to Listings

There are two ways you can add locations to your Listings account.

The first is to add them manually one by one - this is recommended if you want to add one or two locations at a time.

The second is by importing a location template - recommended if you wish to add multiple locations at ones.

1. Add single locations



Go to Listings - Locations - Locations list

Press 'Add location'



We offer three types of locations that you can create in PinMeTo

Storefront - you use this when you only serve your customers at your physical address

Storefront with Service Area (called hybrid by Google) - A business that serves customers at their business address, but also directly visits or delivers to customers. If your business doesn’t have permanent on-site signage, it's not eligible as a storefront and should be listed as a service-area business.

Service Area - A business that visits or delivers to customers directly, but doesn’t serve customers at their business address.

For example, businesses like cleaning services or plumbers.

Service-area businesses can only create one profile for the metropolitan area that they serve.



Note: PinMeTo currently only supports Service Areas for Google.

For more info on Google's rules for Service Areas, please follow this link.
