Managing Locations

Locations help customers find your business and understand where you operate. You can manage multiple locations from your dashboard.

Adding a Location

The Locations page in your dashboard — Add Location is in the top-right.

In the dashboard sidebar, open Locations and click Add Location (top-right):

  1. Location type — pick the type that matches how this place is used (see below).
  2. Location name — give it a recognizable name (e.g. "Downtown Office", "North Side Studio").
  3. Address — enter the address. The fields required depend on the type.
  4. Contact details — phone number and email specific to this location.
  5. Hours of operation — set your business hours for each day of the week.

Location Types

When you add a location, you pick one of four types. The type controls what's shown publicly and which services can attach to it.

  • Storefront — A retail or office location customers visit. The full address (street, city, region, postal code) is shown publicly so customers can find you.
  • Service Area — A region you serve at the customer's site (mobile services, in-home work, on-site repairs). City and region are shown publicly; street and postal code stay private. Customers see "By appointment" on any services attached to a Service Area location.
  • Warehouse — A fulfillment or shipping origin. Not shown publicly. Used internally for inventory and shipping configuration.
  • Private — An internal location used for business records only. Never shown publicly.

You can change a location's type later. Services can only be attached to Storefront or Service Area locations — warehouses and private locations stay internal.

Setting a Primary Location

Your primary location appears prominently on your marketplace listing and is used for search results. To change your primary location:

  1. Go to Locations in your dashboard
  2. Click on the location you want to make primary
  3. Select Set as Primary

Editing and Removing Locations

  • Edit — Click on any location to update its details, hours, or contact information
  • Deactivate — Temporarily hide a location without deleting it
  • Delete — Permanently remove a location (this will also unlink any services assigned to it)

Tips for Location Management

  • Keep addresses accurate — Correct addresses improve your search ranking and help customers find you
  • Update hours for holidays — Customers check hours before visiting, so keep them current
  • Add photos — Location photos help customers recognize your storefront
