Recently Customized

Improved:

Recently Customized

This page is still going to showcase the organizations that have been recently customized.

However… now, the order in which the organizations appear on the page has been changed.

We have set it up so that instead of the most recently customized pages being listed vertically like this with the most recent update at the top:

They are now being ordered horizontally with two names per row (one being the most recently customized page):


This new way the recently customized pages are ordered, keeps the most recently updated business names at the top of the page.

Customizing your page not only looks great and helps you stand out, but it can also get you at the  top of this page!

Changing your Listing Subcategory

You have a listing in the “Plumbers” subcategory but feel like your Listing should really be in the “Plumbing Contractors” subcategory.

Follow these simple steps to change which subcategory you are listed in.

(You can also add up to 5 new subcategory Listings, without changing an existing one.)

Once you have signed into Centrepointe you should be looking at your Account Overview, unless you have signed in using pencils that link you directly to a specific section in Centrepointe.

From the Account Overview:

  • Select the “view/edit/remove” link for  your Enhanced or Basic Listing, depending on which one you want to change.

  • Select the “view/edit/remove” link for the particular listing that you would like to change.

(remember not to select the ‘Director Location’ as that will just bring you to that Subcategory page)

  • This will take you to the preview of the Listing that you are about to edit.  You will need to select the ‘edit/remove’ link one more time.

Signing in directly using Pencils:

  • Once you have selected the ‘edit/remove’ link or have signed into this location by using pencils, you can select both your Section, and based on that Section, what Subcategory your Listing will appear in.

  • Don’t forget to include a headline for all basic listings, and a headline and summary for Enhanced Listings.

  • Click ‘Preview.’

  • Make sure your Listing appear as you would like it to, and then click ‘Save.’

You’re all done!

Pages Are Shorter

* New *

Listings are divided and broken down into more than one page.

Before: all of the listings were on one page. Enhanced at the top, followed by Basic and Prospects listed in alphabetical order.

Now: the listings will be divided into the following four divisions:

The change: Depending on the number of listings, the Directory Subcategories will be broken down into more than one page.

If the Directory subcategory (per CitySite)…

1.Contains only Prospects

The pages will be divided into listings of 25 per page. Page one: 1 to 25, page two: 26-50 and so on.

2. Contains Basic Listings for Business Members and Prospects

All of the Business Member listings will be placed on page 1- no matter how many. Then the Prospect Listings will start on page 2 and follow the 25 listings per page format. In the case that the Basic Listings fall under 10 listings, fill the page with Prospect Listings and start page 2 at number 11.

3. Contains Enhanced Listings and Basic Listings for Prospects

All Enhanced and Basic Listings will be places on page 1, and page 2 will only hold Prospects. In the case that the Enhanced and Basic Listings fall under 10 listings, the page will be filled with Prospect Listings and start page 2 at number 11.

4. Contains both Enhanced and Basic Listings for both Business Members and for Prospects

All the Business Member’s Listings are placed on page 1. Prospects will be placed on the 2nd page, again following the 25 Listings per page division.
