Is it for me?
If you can switch on a computer, you can run your own area!
We have created a Franchisee Control Panel that allows you to manage every single part of your own website without any technical knowledge.
The simplicity of its design minimises the time you spend on administration leaving you to focus on picking up new customers, to quickly make your business profitable. If you have the skills to use a word processor or even email, you already have sufficient IT knowledge to launch your own territory.
We train you on how to use the Control Panel and also show you how businesses get fast, natural organic listings on search engines.
This is why many customers have stayed with CityLocal from the time they placed their advert on the CityLocal website.
You will get a ready to launch business, backed by our serious investment to ensure that you have the best opportunity to succeed.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication
We have invested heavily in the infrastructure to make everything simple and to minimise what you have to do. You will have your own admin console that allows you to add, change and remove content from the site quickly and simply. You can set expiry dates for events, so that they automatically disappear after the event.
It's the same for free adverts; they disappear after 90 days to keep the content current. The public can also add and update properties, events and free adverts themselves. It's an easy 1-step process. Clearly this leaves more time for you, the franchisee, to sell more adverts.
Here is a preview of some of the functions you will have when running your own area:
Edit City You can change your Homepage Text and the pictures to suit your personal marketing message.
Manage Business You can manage businesses advertising on the web site at the click of a mouse, it could not be easier!
Manage Properties You can upload, delete and edit property adverts and include up to 3 pictures per property.
Monitor your Traffic You can monitor the traffic on your website and even see how many clicks each business advert has had, and lots more!
You'll learn how this works in your 3 day comprehensive technical and sales training. We support you every step of the way, giving you the best possible start, and once you are up and running, we’re on call at CityLocal Headquarters whenever you need us. You just need to pick up the phone.
