If you're new to the directory, five things to do first:
**1.** Upload at least three photos. Listings with photos get ~4x the clicks of listings without. It doesn't have to be professional — a phone photo of the front of the shop works.
**2.** Fill out your hours. Incomplete hours show as "Hours not available" on your page. That's the first thing buyers check before driving over.
**3.** Add a specialty list. "Depression glass, mid-century modern, vintage tools" tells a buyer whether your shop is worth the trip.
**4.** Add your social links. Facebook, Instagram, website — any of them. These appear as small icons on your listing page and drive real traffic.
**5.** Turn on SMS if you're comfortable. Customers text about hours more than they call, especially younger buyers.
Pro and Elite plans unlock more (analytics, event pages, hire-me forms, etc.) but the above is the foundation regardless of plan.
Questions welcome.
