‘Listing Title’ Field

The ‘Listing Title’ field is most powerful and instant representation of your Listing.  It is assured to be represented wherever your Listing is found, whether it be on say ‘Google’ or within POI Australia itself.  It is therefore, a great opportunity to provide Users with an instant perception of your Listing.

 

Listing Title

To ensure maximum impact of search capabilities within POI Australia and all Internet Search Engines → input the Name of your Business / Entity, a brief Description, together with the Address in the ‘Listing Title’ Field:

Example 1:  Acct Business – Bookkeeping, Pialba, Brisbane, QLD

Example 2:  ABC Bakery – 12 Street Road, Pialba, Brisbane, QLD

 

‘Category’ Field

To ensure your enterprise is easily found by users, be sure to allocate all relevant categories.  Setting the “Default” category is important as it will quickly be identified by users.  For the “Default”, choose the category that best represents your business e.g. if you sell bait and fishing supplies, the “Default” should be the Fishing | Bait | Tackle category.

 

‘Address’ Field
