How Do We White Label Ourselves? Branded Email Address Toll-Free Number The reason we ask for a branded email address is so we can remain white labelled while communicating with your clients. We also use a toll-free number (1-866-378-8031), provided to all of our partners customers, and we answer it with a blanket Digital Agency brand. We require the username, password and the webmail URL for the email account. Name the Solution Working Remotely We want to establish the language we use around the package you offer to your clients, as it helps the client realize who we are!

FAQs and Best Practices

Best Practises A business name should not indicate its location (for example, ABC Coffee House Portland). This will work against the business SEO. Do not Google a business address when filling out an order. Check their website, business card, or check a utility bill. It is likely that a client s online information is incorrect. Listing Distribution must include a complete, valid address, not just a business name and phone number. Ensure the contact person is available and willing to receive phone calls and emails from the Digital Agent. Recall, this is a Do It With Me solution. When claiming listings, Agents require access to a Gmail account. This should be associated with the business (for example, businessname@gmail.com).

Common Questions QUESTION Are there listing sites that are not covered by the Digital Agency? ANSWER There are premium listings that the Digital Agency is not able to create and/or edit at this time. They include HealthGrades, Vitals, Better Business Bureau, LinkedIn etc. Certain sites such as OpenTable, Expedia, and DealerRater.com are accessible to the Digital Agency, as long as the client has a login to provide. To view the listings that will be monitored by Listing Distribution, simply go to Reputation Intelligence > View Listings.

Common Questions QUESTION My client has 10 locations. Do I need to fill out forms for each location? ANSWER You can complete one Digital Agency Order Form (if they have the same services) for multilocation businesses, but individual Reputation Intelligence accounts are required for each location. QUESTION Can I complete the onboarding call for my client with Digital Agency? ANSWER Unless the client has only ordered Listing Distribution, no, not alone. Digital Agency must have direct communication with the client. To claim listings, the client must be at their place of business to answer automated calls. We encourage all Sales Reps to join Digital Agency Onboarding Calls.

Common Questions QUESTION Why is it important to claim listings? ANSWER By claiming and verifying online listings, you will ensure that the information is accurate and be able to make any necessary changes to the listing data. Depending on the source, rich data fields and adding pictures is also possible. If the site allows users to leave reviews, the business owner will be able to reply to these reviews. This shows that the business cares about customer service and customer satisfaction. Keeping accurate listing information and responding to customer reviews will also assist in improving SEO scores.
