Hiding Your Listing from Specific Publications

Quick Answer

You can hide your listing from specific publications while maintaining your presence on others. This affects only the public visibility of your listing on those domains — you'll still receive leads from hidden publications through our matching system.

Overview

Heritage Web automatically assigns your listing to multiple publications based on your professional field, community connections, and languages. While you cannot remove your listing from HeritageWeb.com (our main hub), you can strategically hide it from specific community or professional directories to manage your online presence.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Access Your Listing

Log into your Heritage Web dashboard
Navigate to the appropriate section (Profile, Organizations, Events, or Jobs)
Click on the listing you want to manage

Step 2: Find Publication Settings

Look for the "Publications" or "Visibility Settings" section
You'll see a list of all publications where your listing appears

Step 3: Hide from Specific Publications

Find the publication you want to hide from
Click the "Hide" toggle or checkbox next to that publication
The change takes effect immediately — no review required
Your listing becomes invisible on that domain right away

Step 4: Confirm Changes

Save your settings if prompted
You'll see a confirmation that visibility has been updated
The hidden publication will be marked in your dashboard

Important Notes

You cannot hide from HeritageWeb.com — all listings must remain visible on our main platform
Hiding affects visibility only — you'll continue receiving leads from hidden publications
Changes are immediate — no waiting period or approval needed
Reversible anytime — you can unhide listings instantly
Lead matching continues — hiding doesn't stop lead flow from that source

FAQs

Q: If I hide my listing from a publication, will I stop getting leads from it? A: No. Hiding only affects public visibility on that specific domain. You'll continue receiving matched leads from that publication through our referral system. This is a strategic feature that lets you control your public presence while maintaining lead flow.

Q: Can I hide my listing from HeritageWeb.com? A: No. All listings must remain visible on HeritageWeb.com as it serves as our universal hub. This is a mandatory publication for all users.

Q: How quickly does hiding take effect? A: Immediately. As soon as you save the change, your listing becomes invisible on that publication's website. There's no review process or waiting period.

Q: Can I request to be removed completely from a publication instead of just hidden? A: Complete removal requires contacting [email protected]. However, we recommend using the hiding feature instead, as it gives you flexibility to reappear later while continuing to receive leads.

Q: Why would I want to hide from a publication but still receive leads? A: This is useful when you're at capacity but still want to selectively accept high-quality leads, testing which publications generate the best clients, or managing your professional image in specific communities while maintaining business opportunities.
