2.5 Add/Edit Service Providers
This section has 2 tabs: Manage Category and Add/Edit Service Providers. You can add your favorite service providers to your website for your clients to reference. Service providers display on your website under the About the Area tab and are sorted by category in alphabetical order. If you do not have any service providers to list here, you have the option to enter a vendor disclaimer or message to display (see Section 2.4 Add/Edit Disclaimers).

Tips and Tricks: Once you’ve added your service providers, you might want to let these vendors know you have added them to your website and that you are advertising for them. It helps develop a good relationship with them and hopefully they’ll return the favor by referring business to you! Be sure to ask them to add a link to your site on their site if they have one. |
