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.
