Map - Make sure to drag the map marker to correctly pin your location, thus allowing possible clients to know where your physical location is. This can be an advantage as clients can drop by your store or business location to do business with you personally.

Avoid creating duplicate listings

Make your dashboard clear from clutter by making sure that you only create listings for your business once. Furthermore, making duplicates will not provide you double ad exposure.
