The Communities Served feature allows you to demonstrate your local expertise in the areas that you work in. Your clients will find these pages on the Communities Tab of your website.

To add or edit the communities you serve, select Website Admin from the Profile Admin Drop-down Menu.

On the next page, click Communities Served from the links on the left side of the page. To add a new community, click the Add Community button. The communities you add will appear on your website home page or buy page, depending on what website theme you’re using.

Enter the community name in the field provided. Enter either the community name or a zip or postal code in the field provided, and select it from the list that appears. (Note: if your community does not appear in the MLS search areas on your website, you may need to use a zip code instead). Then, you can enter another area name or zip code until you have covered the entire community you are adding.

Now, add a description of the community. What are some of the local landmarks or tourist attractions? Why would someone want to live here? This is your chance to really shine by showing why you are the local expert!

Finally, move the pin to the center of your area on the map.

If you have any photos you have taken of the area or if you own any images that have been professionally taken of that area you can add a custom local image to your communities page. For best results choose an image with a landscape orientation.

Under the Add a Community Image click the Choose File button and search your computer for the right picture.

With your communities served pages you also have the ability to control the SEO title and Meta Description for each page. For tips on your SEO Title and Meta description hover over the question mark icon.

To edit an existing community click the edit icon () in the Actions column. To remove a community click the delete icon ().

Tips:

• If you use the search widget, the communities you add will be listed in the area menu.
• If Market Insider is available in your area, the default zip code will be the last zip code you entered in your communities served.
