Setting Up Business Locations

Quick Answer

Add your business address in the Business Locations section to appear in local search results and receive geographically relevant leads. Enter your street address, city, state, and zip code. Your listing will match with clients within a 75-mile radius of each location.

Overview

Business Locations tell Heritage Web where your Organization operates. This information is used for lead matching—clients searching for services in Houston will be matched with businesses located in or near Houston. You can add multiple locations if your business operates from several addresses.

What Address to Use

Use Your Business Address If:

You have a physical office, store, or location
Clients visit you at this address
You're based at this location

Consider a Service Area If:

You travel to clients (mobile services)
You serve a region but have no public office
You work from home but don't want to publish that address

Location and Lead Matching

Your business location directly affects which leads you receive:

Client requests service in "Houston, TX"
System searches for listings within 75 miles of Houston
Your Organization matches if any location is within range
Lead is sent to matching businesses

The 75-Mile Radius

Heritage Web uses a 75-mile radius for geographic matching:

Your Location	Matches Clients In
Houston, TX	Houston and surrounding 75-mile area
Los Angeles, CA	LA metro and surrounding 75-mile area
Chicago, IL	Chicago and surrounding 75-mile area

Important Notes

At least one location is recommended for local lead matching
You can add unlimited locations
Each location can have its own hours and phone number
The 75-mile radius is standard (custom areas available by request)
Remote/virtual businesses can still add a headquarters location

FAQs

Do I need to add a location? It's strongly recommended. Without a location, you may miss geographically relevant leads. Even virtual businesses benefit from listing a headquarters.

Can I hide my street address but still get local leads? Currently, the address is used for matching. Contact support if you have privacy concerns about displaying your address.

What if I serve clients nationwide? Add your primary location. You'll match with nearby clients. For broader reach, consider adding multiple strategic locations or contact support about custom service areas.

Does my location have to be a commercial address? No, but be aware that whatever address you enter may be visible on your listing. Home-based businesses should consider this.

How accurate does my address need to be? Use your exact business address. The system uses this for precise geographic matching.
