Frequently Asked Questions
We’re always just an email away if you don’t see your question addressed below! We’ve tried to address everything that might come up, just in case — as well as a few things that will make sure you’re paying attention and hopefully bring a smile to your face.

What if I have multiple locations?
You’ll have to add user roles to each business listing one at a time. Multiple users can be added in each position, as well.
