Previously, once users had placed an order through Whitespark's Listing Service, they would import the details of their locations through our Local Platform software. However, this is no longer required, as we have given our Listings Service it's own dedicated intake process!

In this article, we'll be going over the steps of this intake process, so that you can submit the information for your locations, and we can begin carrying out your order.

Don't feel like doing the intake process all at once? We have you covered 😎. All your work is automatically saved as you go. You can leave at any time, and pick up right where you left off.

The first step is to visit the Listings Service dashboard. This dashboard is the central location for all things related to our Listings Service. Any orders requiring you to select locations will be displayed at the top of the dashboard.

To begin the intake process for an order, press the Select locations button.

You will now be taken to the following screen. Once you have read through the instructions, you can proceed by pressing the Get started button.

You will now find yourself on the following screen, where you can fill out the information for your locations. To begin adding location information, press the Add location button.

After pressing the button, a panel will pop out, where you can fill in all the information for your location.

This panel is broken into 3 sections: required info, supplemental info, and NAP variations. As you fill out information in each section the form automatically saves, and you will see the number of completed fields automatically update. Once all the required fields are filled out, you can close the panel, and repeat this process for as many locations as you've ordered.

A slick feature of this process is that you can autofill information from Google! First, press the Autofill key fields from Google button.

After doing this, a window will pop up where you can search for your business.

After finding your business, you can confirm the details and press the Autofill button. Don't worry if you notice some things that need changing! You can still edit any of the details on the previous panel.

Once you have filled out the required information for all locations, you will be allowed to proceed to the following step by pressing Continue

If you have any comments or special instructions, you can add them here. If not, you may press Continue to go to the next step

For this last step, you may review all the information you've provided for your locations. If you want to make changes to a location, you can press the Make changes button. To see the full location details, press the arrow to expand the card.

Once you've confirmed all your intake information, you can press Submit, and BOOM, you're done 🥳!!! Now you can sit back, relax, and let our hard working Listings Service team handle the rest 🫡.
