1. Basic Details
This is the calling card of your business. This is where you enter the information that will help people recognize and find you.

- Address and Google Search: Enter the street and number. Very important: use the blue “Find on map” button. This will automatically retrieve your coordinates (Latitude / Longitude) and place a marker on the map. Check that the marker is in the correct location.
- City: Select from the drop-down menu (e.g. Bansko, Razlog, Banya, Dobrinishte).
- Website, Phone and WhatsApp: Fill them out carefully. Foreign tourists use them very often. WhatsApp, to avoid roaming charges on phone calls, so don't miss this field!
The specificity of the narrow streets in the Old Town or the areas around The Gondola makes the exact location absolutely mandatory. Tourists use their mobile phones to click on the navigation button on our site and get directly to you. If the map marker is wrong, you risk losing reservations!
2. Categories and Services & 3. Service Prices
In the field Category You should select the most accurate industry for your business from the drop-down menu. Whether you are a luxury spa hotel, real estate agency, craft workshop, or car rental company, choosing the right category ensures that you will appear in the correct filter by users.
The section Price details is extremely useful for users who are planning their budget. You can set:
- Price (Status): Indicates your price class (e.g. Budget, Mid-Range, Luxury).

4. Working hours and 5. Social networks
There is nothing more frustrating for a tourist than arriving at a closed door after the internet said you were open. Use this section carefully:
For each day of the week (Monday to Sunday), select a start and end time from the drop-down menus. If your business operates 24/7 (such as a large hotel reception or a 24-hour store), simply check the box. “24 hours” to the corresponding day. You can easily remove your days off using the red minus button.
Social proof is key. From the drop-down menu, select a platform (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn) and paste the full URL link to your profile. Use the blue “+” button to add additional networks. Customers love to view current stories and reviews on your social channels before visiting you.
