Tips & Tricks for Directory Listings

Need some instructions? You’re in the right place!

How do I add a directory listing?

You can add a basic listing for FREE, or select a paid listing plan if you want your listing to stand out. 

To add a listing, simply select the Add Listing option from the Dashboard menu, and select the plan which is right for you by selecting the Select Plan option.

You’ll then see a form which contains all of the information which will be displayed for the plan you selected. Enter all of the information you would like customers and directory users to see. Please Note – all of the information you enter is displayed in the listing. If you don’t want the information displayed, leave the field blank. For example, if you don’t want a phone number displayed, do not enter a phone number in this field. You will be prompted for your phone number at the billing stage, in case we need to get in touch with you.

If you have any comments or questions, there is a comments box at the end of the form which you can use to communicate with the TownGuide Team.

Why is the FREE Plan only 90 days?

The FREE base plan is set to 90 days, after which you can renew your listing again.

We have set the plans to renew at 90 days so that you have a “reminder” to check the details and keep them fresh!

How do I manage my listings?

Each listing you create, including those in draft, can be found within your Dashboard.

You can locate the Dashboard by selecting My Dashboard from the Directory menu. 

Here you can see the status of your listing, and manage any changes you wish to make to the listing such as modifying the copy, adding images, or upgrading / downgrading or renewing the listing plan.

 

Can I see a full list of categories available?

Yes! You can see the full category list. Keep in mind this will change over time as new categories are added!

 

What are tags?

Tags are a super useful way of highlighting something interesting about a business, group or organisation, for example, “Great Coffee” “Kid Friendly” “Dog Friendly”.

The label allows directory users to search via the tag name, and it also displays against the listing within the directory.

You can view a find a full list of the current tags.
