Frequently Asked Questions
We want you to take full advantage of your Business
Listing, so have included some help and answers to
frequently asked questions about My Local Services.
- Lifetime Premium Listings - can I edit my business listing?
Absolutely yes, we do not charge you for any edits or assistance
with editing. Simply search for your listing, and select
the big green "Edit this listing" button. You will need
the email address you signed up with and your
password. You can then edit any part of your listing,
including things like your business name, add more
links, change pictures, text, etc etc... If you decide
to change your categories, which you can, then you will
need to allow 24 hours before your new categories become
fully searchable.
- Whoops I've lost my password! Fear
not, simply go to the "Edit this listing" button for
your business, and you will see a lost password link.
Click that and your password will be emailed to you.
Remember you can change your password to anything you
want when you edit your listing.
- If my business changes address what happens to my
listing? Not a problem. Simply edit you’re listing
and change your business details. Once
you have previewed your revised listing, select
‘publish’ and your updates will appear instantly.
The new address may take up to 24 hours before it is
correctly searchable, as our database processes all
updates first thing every morning.
- How do my customers leave reviews? By going to
My Local Services and selecting the “Leave a Review”
button. They will be asked to enter the name of the
business and then add a referral. All feedback is
screened to ensure no slander or misuse. Remember,
Premium Listings with the most reviews will remain at
the top of their given categories.
- I have a Lifetime Listing, how long
does it really last for? The definition of a
Lifetime Listing to us is either the Life of your
business or as long as the My Local Services website is
on the air! To try and counter stale listings and to
allow for businesses that do unfortunately close down,
we will send you an automated email every 6 - 12 months
to make sure you're still there, and would like to
continue advertising.
- Why has my listing disappeared?
You must remember to keep your email address current. If
you don't update your email address details, this will
mean any potential customers can't contact you, and our
automated email won't be able to confirm your details.
If we are unable to confirm your details twice in a
six month period, then it will be assumed you are no
longer trading and your listing will be removed. You
would no longer have a Lifetime or Premium or Regional
Listing, so you would need to re-list your business if
you decided to continue with a Premium Listing.
- How do I cancel or suspend my Premium,
Regional or Basic Listing? I'm afraid you can't suspend your
listing, but if you need to cancel it for any reason,
just simply telephone, email or write to us with
the name of your business and ask us to remove your
listing. All of our contact details are at the bottom of
this page.
- My Local Services Charity Partnerships. We have a strong
bond with the charity sector, and are happy to give
complimentary Premium Listings to Charities, Voluntary
groups, and other community groups. If you work with any
charity organisations please forward our contact details
and we would be happy to offer them free advertising and
use of our events planners.
If you would like to contact us, select the contact tab at the bottom of
this page. We welcome all
feedback, from enquires, further information or criticism, and take all
comments seriously.
