🔴 Before submitting your listing information, you must review the following location data, five of which are mandatory☝️.

  • Identifier

  • Location name

  • Address

  • Phone number

  • Category

  • Opening hours (optional)

  • Short and long description (optional)

👉 Identifier

If you are planning to connect with Google, the identifier will override the StoreID in Google. Therefore, we recommend using the same StoreID as in GBP (Google Business Profile).

Ensure that the Store identifier is unique for each location and that each location has an identifier.

👉 Location Name

The location name must be a company name or a company name + city. We encourage you to check Google's guidelines for representing your business on Google.

👉 Address and Phone Number

Ensure that your GBP listing address is properly filled out:

  • The address column contains only street name and number

  • Address Line 2 contains any additional information about the address

  • Each location must have a ZIP code

  • Each location must have a city

  • Each location must have a country code

  • Each location must have a valid phone number

👉  Category

Note that each location requires at least one category (max 5 categories). If you didn't find the category you are looking for, contact us.

👉 Opening Hours

This requirement is optional. If you wish to provide this information, make sure that the hours are in a supported format: Day(Abbreviation)=hh:mm-hh:mm. For example, Mo=08:00-16:00.

👉 Short and long description

This requirement is optional. The short description can contain up to 200 characters. However, we recommend keeping it to a maximum of 100 characters to ensure it gets accepted by Facebook.

Some directories require a long description, so make sure you add that. It must not exceed 1000 characters. Please note that Google accepts a maximum of 750 characters.

We encourage you to read about Best Practices for Setting Up a Listing to learn more.

Once a listing is submitted or updated, it might not be synced. This article explains what can cause this.
