Add Your Listing
Once logged in, go to your Dashboard → Add Listing. Fill in the required fields:
- Business Name – exact name of your business.
- Category – choose the most relevant category (e.g., Restaurants, Automotive, Healthcare).
- Description – tell visitors what makes your business unique (up to 1000 characters).

- Logo – upload an image (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP) – it will be automatically converted to WebP.
Pending Review & Approval
After submitting, your listing goes into “Under Review” status. Our admin team will check:
- Business authenticity
- Appropriate category
- No duplicate entries
Once approved, you will receive coins (calculated based on completeness). Rejected listings can be edited and resubmitted.
Manage Your Listing
Approved listings appear on the frontend. As a business owner, you can:
- Edit – update any information (title, description, contact, logo).
- View Stats – see how many people viewed your listing.
- Add Products/Services – showcase what you offer with images, descriptions, and price ranges.
- Reply to Reviews – when customers leave reviews, you can respond (owner role only).
Claim an Existing Business
If your business is already listed (e.g., added by another user), you can claim ownership:
- Visit the listing page and click “Claim This Business”.
- Provide proof of ownership (message to admin).
- Once approved, your role becomes “Owner” – you gain full control: edit, reply to reviews, add products, and more.
- Owners have an exclusive dashboard with all management tools.
