Local Search Boost

Local Search Boost

The Local Search Boost upgrade is an advanced feature exclusive to PRO users on Experience.com that amplifies professionals' visibility within specific geographic regions. This premium enhancement enables professionals to purchase zip codes, ensuring their profiles appear prominently in the sponsored search results on the Experience.com platform when visitors search within those designated zip codes or locations.



What is Sponsored Search?

When users search for a sponsored zip code, sponsored profiles are displayed prominently above organic search results. The availability of zip codes is subject to change based on cancellations or non-renewals by other professionals.

  • Higher Visibility – Secure a top position for your selected zip codes in search results.

  • Increased Client Engagement – More exposure leads to higher chances of client interactions.

  • Flexible Management – Easily add or remove zip codes based on your business needs.

  • Competitive Edge – Stay ahead by positioning yourself in key locations where potential clients are searching.

 

How Sponsored Search Works

  • When a visitor searches for a specific category  in a zip code, all the profiles that have purchased the zip code & category will be part of sponsored search results.

  • When a visitor searches for a specific service in a zip code, up to 3 sponsored profiles (who had purchased the service in that zipcode) are displayed above organic search results.

  • Zip code availability depends on existing subscriptions, cancellations, or non-renewals by other professionals.

Accessing the Local Search Boost upgrade is exclusive to professionals who have upgraded to the PRO plan on Experience.com. PRO users can acquire zip codes during the upgrade process or through the platform's Upgrades section at any time after that. Once upgraded, users can navigate to the Manage Subscription page in the Upgrades section. On this page, users can utilize the action menu in the top right corner to select Manage zip codes, enabling them to specify and procure the desired zip codes for enhanced visibility in search results.

Pricing and Cancellations

When a zip code is purchased through the Local Search Boost upgrade, charges are prorated to align with the billing cycle of the user's PRO package, ensuring seamless synchronization. If a user decides to remove a purchased zip code mid-billing cycle, they will still maintain visibility in sponsored results until the end of the paid period for that month. The removal request will occur from the following billing cycle, ensuring a smooth transition. Additionally, upon the user's base PRO subscription expires, all associated zip codes will be deactivated, resulting in the user's profile no longer appearing in sponsored results for those specific zip codes.

Managing Purchased Zip Codes

Once zip codes have been purchased through the Local Search Boost upgrade, users can conveniently manage them on the Manage Subscription page, accessible within the Upgrades section of the platform. By navigating to this page, users gain access to a suite of subscription management tools. Users can easily select Manage zip codes by utilizing the action menu in the top right corner of the Manage Subscription page. This action opens a menu where they can efficiently add or remove zip codes that they have purchased, providing them with flexibility and control over their targeted geographic visibility.


The Local Search Boost upgrade offers professionals a powerful tool to enhance their online presence strategically. By leveraging this feature, users can optimize their visibility on Experience.com and attract relevant clientele within specific geographic regions, maximizing their business opportunities.
