Listing Categories – What are They ???
All Listings in POI Australia are categorised into just 3 levels:
Major Categories – as seen at the base of the Map on the Home Page
Sub Category – Level 1 – as listed to the right of the Map on the Home Page
Sub Category – Level 2 – as listed under the expanded Sub Category – Level 1 categories
Major Category
Only one (1) Major Category per Listing is possible, however . . .
Multiple Sub Categories are available:.
. . . as Listings under the Sub Categories of POI Australia allow for –
→ multiple Sub Category – Level 1 allocations PLUS
→ even more Sub Category – Level 2 allocations !!!
. . . Plus → numerous Tags
The map will display only one Icon for your business – be sure to select your Default category as closest that that represents your business → as this will be the Icon displayed on the Map.
e.g. if you are a Radiologist → be sure to check ‘Radiology‘ as your Default . . .
