Additional Locations for Listing

Introduction

For businesses with a widespread presence, effectively communicating all operational locations is crucial for reaching a broader customer base. The "Additional Locations for Listing" plugin offers a valuable solution for eDirectory, empowering listing owners to seamlessly associate multiple branches, offices, or stores with a single listing. This functionality ensures that users searching your directory receive comprehensive information about a business's presence across various geographical areas, ultimately expanding the reach and visibility of those listings.

Steps to Utilize the Plugin:

1. Define Maximum Additional Locations: Begin by navigating to the "Settings" section within your eDirectory admin panel. From there, proceed to "Products & Plans" and then "Manage Products". Locate the setting labeled "Number of additional locations" (or similar) for each listing level. Enter the desired maximum quantity of additional locations that clients can associate with each specific level. Once you have defined these limits, click "Save Changes" to apply the settings.

2. Add/Edit Additional Locations: When a listing owner is in the process of adding a new listing or editing an existing one, they will now find a dedicated option to create or modify additional locations. Simply navigate to the listing's editing interface within the eDirectory admin panel and locate the section specifically labeled "Additional Locations."

• Within this section, a user-friendly interface will allow the listing owner to input the specific details for each additional business location. This typically includes the full address, contact phone number, email address, website URL (if applicable), and any other pertinent information relevant to that specific branch or office. Remember to click "Save Changes" after adding or updating the additional locations associated with the listing.

3. View Additional Locations on Listing Detail Page: Once additional locations have been successfully registered for a listing, they will be clearly displayed on the public-facing listing detail page. Users browsing your eDirectory and viewing a listing with multiple locations will be able to see a comprehensive list of all associated branches or offices.

• Each additional location will be presented with its corresponding details (address, contact information, etc.), allowing users to easily identify and access the specific branch or office most convenient for their needs. This enhanced visibility ensures that businesses with multiple locations can effectively showcase their full service area to potential customers.
