Managing your business listing is easy on intoGo. To get
started, you’ll need to go to visit www.intoGo.com. From there, you’ll see a green button that
reads, “Manage My Business.” Clicking on
the button will take you to the registration page which asks for your contact
information, along with a password of your choice. Click register, and you’ll create your free
business account on intoGo.
Claiming
Your Business
The next step
in promoting your business is to click on the “Claim Business” button at the
top of the page. This spawns a search
box that allows you to search for your business by name. Once the system finds your business, click on
“Claim Listing.” If you don’t find your
business, you can click “Add it Now,” so we can add your business to intoGo.
Next, you’ll
be presented with your business’ phone number at the top of the page. Make sure this is the correct number. If it isn’t the correct number, fill in the
box below the words, “NOT YOUR BUSINESS PHONE NUMBER? Insert the correct phone number here.” Make sure you are near your business phone
because the intoGo is going to call you with a pin number. Click “Call to Verify, ” and you will receive
a call in less than a minute.
While you’re
waiting for the phone call, you also need to check the box that certifies you
are an authorized representative of the business. After you enter the 6-digit pin, click on the
“Verify PIN” button, and you will be taken to your personal dashboard. (See the video below for more details.)
Optimizing
Your Free Listing
As soon as
you enter your business dashboard you’ll see the traffic for your listing
including any category under which it is listed. You can then see a preview of your listing by
clicking on the “Preview” tab. Next, you
should click on the “Business Info” tab so you can verify that all the
information about your business is correct and up to date. You may also add links to all your social
sites. If you operate a restaurant, this
is the time and place to add your menu.
The “Hours”
tab is the place to show what days and times you are open for business. The bar at the top of the page allows you to
quickly update your entire weekly schedule with just a few clicks.
The
“Attributes” tab helps you tell our audience all kinds of things about your
business, including available parking and ambiance, to the type of structure in
which your business is located and where to find parking.
Last but not
least, you can add one free coupon to your listing to help incentivize prospects
into giving your establishment a try.
(If you want to find out about adding more coupons, see the “Promoting
Your Business on intoGo" video below.

Being a Boomer, I find many online advertising platforms way too complicated to be practical. But the intoGo system is simplicity itself. It took me less than 5-minutes to set up my club on intoGo.
ReplyDeleteMany advertising platforms on the web are expensive and are not mobile friendly. Intogo is the exact opposite. It very easy to use, targets your best potential prospects and customers and starts as low as 69.99 a month.If you have a restaurant or an event venue it perfect. What's not to like.
