Introduction

Accurate location and coverage settings on CoHostMarket are crucial for maximizing visibility and securing more interviews and job offers. Here’s why it’s important and how you can optimize your settings effectively.

Why Location and Coverage Matter

Increase Your Reach:

• Multiple Locations: Listing multiple locations expands your presence across different areas, making it easier for homeowners to find you.

• Wider Radius: Ensures your profile appears in search results for even slightly outside your location.

How Our System Works:

• Google Place and Geocoding Targeting: Ensures precise location-based searches.

• Radius and Coverage: Defines the area where your profile will appear in search results, such as Standard members with one location and a 30km² coverage.

Map Visibility for Different User Types

• Standard Members: One location with a 30km² radius

• Premium Members: Up to three locations with a 40km² radius each.

• Pro Members: Up to ten locations with a 50km² radius each.

Visibility in Searches: Profiles with accurate and optimized location settings appear more frequently in relevant searches.

Impact of Incorrect Location

• Reduced Visibility: If your location is incorrect, your profile won't appear in the relevant searches for homeowners, drastically reducing your visibility.

• Missed Opportunities: Homeowners looking for service providers in specific areas won't find your profile, leading to fewer interview bookings and job offers.

• Inaccurate Service Coverage: Incorrect coverage settings can result in being matched with homeowners outside your actual service area, leading to potential cancellations and frustrated clients.

• Lower Trust and Credibility: Consistently incorrect location information can lead to negative reviews and reduced trust from potential clients.

• Cancelled Interviews: Homeowners might book interviews based on incorrect location information, leading to cancellations once the error is discovered.

• Set the maximum allowed coverage radius for each location.

Step-by-Step Guide to Optimizing Location and Coverage

Add Multiple Locations:

• Navigate to your profile settings and find the location section.

• Add all the locations where you can provide services, ensuring you set the maximum allowed coverage radius

Benefits of Optimal Coverage

Additional Details

• Correct Address: Ensuring the correct address helps in accurately mapping your location and coverage area. An incorrect address can lead to missed opportunities as your profile may not appear in relevant searches.

• Multiple Locations: Each additional location increases your visibility across different areas. Multiple pins on the map mean more chances to be seen by potential clients.

• Radius Coverage: The radius coverage can be set in km² or miles, providing flexibility based on your preference. Each coverage area will have its own pin and radius on the Google Map, helping homeowners see the extent of your service area.
