Parent Organization Logo and Visibility

Quick Answer

The Parent Organization logo displays alongside your business information when the Parent Organization section is visible. Control visibility using the section's toggle—showing or hiding the entire Parent Organization section including the logo.

Overview

When you add a Parent Organization with a logo, both the name and logo display on your Organization listing. The visibility toggle controls whether visitors see this information. You can add parent details but hide them temporarily, or display them prominently to leverage brand recognition.

How the Logo Displays

When Parent Organization is visible, your listing shows:

Element	Display Location
Your Organization Logo	Primary logo position
Parent Organization Name	In Parent Organization section
Parent Organization Logo	Alongside parent name

Visitors see both your brand and your parent brand, understanding your affiliation at a glance.

Visibility Controls

Section Toggle

The Parent Organization section has one visibility toggle that controls everything:

Setting	What's Visible
Visible	Parent name AND logo displayed
Hidden	Entire section hidden (name and logo)

What You Cannot Do

Show name but hide logo

Partially display parent information

It's all or nothing—the toggle controls the entire section.

FAQs

Can I show the parent name but hide the logo? No. The visibility toggle controls the entire section. It's either all visible or all hidden.

What if I don't have a parent logo? You can add just the parent name without a logo. The name will display; the logo area will be empty or show a placeholder.

Will hiding Parent Organization affect my leads? Parent Organization doesn't affect lead matching. Hiding it is purely a display decision.

Can I have different visibility settings for different publications? No. Parent Organization visibility is the same across all publications where your listing appears.

What happens if I change franchises? Update the Parent Organization section with the new franchisor's information. Remove the old parent and add the new one.

Does the parent logo link to their website? Typically no—the logo displays for visual identification but doesn't link elsewhere. Your listing remains the focus.
