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.
