Optimizing Your Listing for Visibility

Fill Every Field

Complete listings rank higher in search results. Make sure you've filled in:

• Detailed business description (at least 200 words)
• All contact information (phone, email, website)
• Business hours and operating days
• All relevant service categories
• Van sizes available
• Relevant tags and keywords
• Social media links
• Business credentials (licenses, insurance, etc.)

Description Best Practices

• Be Specific

  Mention specific services, areas you cover, and what makes you unique. Avoid generic descriptions.

• Use Keywords

  Include relevant keywords that customers might search for (e.g., "man and van London", "same-day delivery", "furniture removal").

• Highlight Benefits

  Focus on what customers get - reliability, experience, competitive pricing, insurance coverage, etc.

• Include Your Service Area

  Mention specific cities, postcodes, or regions you serve to help local customers find you.

• Show Credibility

  Mention years of experience, licenses, insurance, and any certifications or memberships.

Photo Optimization

• Main Image: Use a clear, professional photo of your vehicle or team
• Show Your Services: Include photos of your vehicles, equipment, or completed jobs
• Good Lighting: Use natural light or well-lit photos
• Professional Appearance: Clean vehicles and professional presentation
• Update Regularly: Refresh photos periodically to keep your listing current

Listings with high-quality photos receive significantly more views and quote requests.

Category Strategy

• Select All Relevant Categories: Don't limit yourself to just one - if you offer multiple services, select all that apply
• Use Specific Tags: Add tags like "same-day", "24-hour", "insured", "licensed", "eco-friendly" to help customers find you
• Location Tags: Include area-specific tags (e.g., "London", "Manchester", "Birmingham")
• Service-Specific Tags: Add tags for specific services (e.g., "furniture delivery", "office moves", "waste removal")

Speed Matters

• Respond to quote requests within 24 hours (or faster for urgent requests)
• Quick responses show professionalism and increase conversion rates
• Set up email notifications to never miss a quote request
• Check your dashboard regularly for new inquiries

Businesses that respond quickly tend to rank higher in search results over time.

Benefits of Featured Listings

• Top Placement: Featured listings appear at the top of search results
• Increased Visibility: Stand out with a "Featured" badge
• More Views: Featured listings typically receive 3-5x more views
• Higher Conversion: More visibility leads to more quote requests
• Competitive Advantage: Get ahead of competitors in your area

• Add new services or categories as you expand
• Update contact information immediately if it changes

Set a reminder to review and update your listing monthly.

• What percentage of views convert to quote requests
• Which contact methods customers prefer (phone, email, website)
• Trends over time to identify what's working

Use this data to optimize your listing further and improve your conversion rate.
