Boost Your Business: Claim Your Concord Patch Listing!

More local business owners are finding their listing in our "Places" section and taking control of that listing -- a process we call "claiming."

Claiming your listing gives owners the power to update business hours, the latest information on a new product line or tips on finding the best parking near your shop.

There are now 4,600 plus listings in Concord Patch's directory, the most comprehensive roster of local merchants and services in the area, and now's the time to make sure you're in control of information about your business.

Watch the above Patch video on "claiming" your business listing. We're here to make the process as easy as possible.

(If your business isn't listed, please email directorysupport@patch.com to have your business added. It's free!)

Within a few days, you can expect someone from Patch to contact you to verify this information. You'll then be approved as the business owner.

Once approved, you'll have a "Manage Your Listing" button on the top of your Places page. Click the button to get to your dashboard.

Edit Listing:

Add photos, website information, hours of operation, contact information and more under the Basic Info tab. Some information cannot be changed, but you can request a new description if you think your business is inaccurately described.

Choose Extra Info to add information like the founding date of your business, what kinds of payments you accept, parking information and more.

Manage Photos & Media:

Here you can add and edit photos, videos or PDFs and choose which image is featured.

Reviews:

You can see what people have to say about your business and respond to reviews.

Free Tools:

This is an easy way to post events and add job openings to our classifieds section, also known as the Marketplace.

Paid Tools:

You can upgrade your listing with a video profile, add a message from the owner and become a featured business on the Places page for a fee. For more about these options, email advertising manager Jack Rhodes at jack.rhodes [at] patch.com.

There you have it! Claiming your listing is a great way to keep the Concord and Clayton communities informed about your business.
