# 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](https://help.pinmeto.com/en/article/listings-mtaskv/#6-verify). Any listings awaiting verification will automatically appear as tasks in your dashboard’s To Do list.

### *Location Types
* **Storefront**  – Use this when you only serve customers at your physical address.
* **Storefront with service area** *(called “hybrid” by Google)*  – Use this when you serve customers at your address **and** also deliver or visit them in a defined area.
* **Service area**  – Use this when you visit or deliver to customers but do **not** serve them at your business address.
           
**Note:** PinMeTo currently only supports Service Areas for Google and Bing. Learn more about [Google's guidelines for Service Areas](https://support.google.com/business/answer/9157481?).
