Think about your own habits. You scan the details for the business user before you even bother with the sellers. If the irrelevant page of an about business doesn’t interest you, your eyes just slide off it and you keep looking until you see a great business page that looks relevant and interesting.

1) Add business banners & brand logo

Your business image represents your business and should capture the experience your attendees have to look forward to. To make sure your business banner looks great, choose a high-resolution photo that's unique, inspiring, and catches your customer's interest.

9) Timings

Business hours represent the operational hours of a business, so customers can plan their visits.

We use a 24-hour clock when we add timings to a listing. This is displayed on the business page in a 12-hour clock format. For instance, if your business is open from 9 am to 3 pm and 4 pm to 10 pm, we add it as 09:00 AM to 15:00 PM & 16:00 PM to 22:00 PM to the listing for it to display correctly.

A great photo can do most of the work for you, so it’s important to spend a little extra time to craft a visually stimulating experience that not only attracts but engages your audience.

Use the following guidelines to get the highest quality banner image:

• Dimensions: Find at least a minimum 700 x 450px and maximum 1200 x 700px image. A 2:1 ratio image is a horizontal or landscape image that's twice as wide as it is tall (or close to that ratio).

2) Grab customer attention with your offer/Promotion title

Think about your own search habits. You enter the keyword and get numerous of search results. You scan the titles for promoting content before you even bother with the meta-descriptions. If the title of an offer or post doesn’t interest you, your eyes just slide off it and you keep looking until you see a title that looks relevant and interesting. Maximum 150 characters.

3) Sub-Categorize your offer/Promotion for a better result

Think of it this way – when you enter a supermarket looking for a toothbrush, and you find it in the pet food section, aren’t you frustrated?

To simplify the search process, Offer categorization is advised. This means that all the offers featured on the website would be subdivided into broad categories, that would be further subdivided into subcategories, making it easier for both the customer and the search engine to access an Offer.

4) Setting up a countdown for your event

All things is set-up but when the customer start to buying the offers/promotion?

It's Simple! Set your Start Date and End Date so the customer knows very well when he offers are starting and dead, So the customer doesn't miss out the opportunity to grab it.

Daily or weekly offers lives does not grab the attention so we advised you to make more life to your offer like monthly or yearly.

Tips

• Post Later:If your offer starting after few days but on that day you haven't enough to set up all things.Don't worry, enter offer Start date and End date and select "Post Later" option. The offer will save under the Draft offer page and you make it live on start date just click on "Post".

• Post Now: If you want to make the offer live right now, just set up Start and End date and make it "Post now".

If you want to make it live but you need to offer will start after few days do not hesitate, Set your start and end date we will showing date format like as "Start On" OR If an offer is started then will show like "Valid till".

5) Provide context and legitimacy to sell your offers.
