Overview: 3 Methods

You can add locations to your Listings account in three ways. Choose the method that fits your workflow:

• Method 1: Add Location form in Listings– perfect for creating one or two locations quickly in the UI.
• Method 2*: Spreadsheet Template – ideal for bulk creation of many locations in a single upload.
• Method 3*: Locations API – ideal for automated workflows when you need frequent updates or need to manage large numbers of locations automatically.

*Important: Locations added via Method 2 (Spreadsheet Template) or Method 3 (Locations API) require address verification. Any listings awaiting verification will automatically appear as tasks in your dashboard’s To Do list.
