The brand new OneStopKerala features an array of useful tools for our customers. We are committed to providing the best user experience. The features introduced in this version offer a better representation of your company. Some of our new features are explained below:

Listing Title: The title of the listing can be attractive and keyword-rich. Remember, it is a search criterion, so thoughtful titles win more searches. Avoid using Malayalam for the title as the search bot cannot identify the language.

Descriptions / About the Company: The description/About section of your listing includes the details you would like to share. It should be precise and short, as people tend not to read long content. Ensure all relevant details are mentioned in this section.

Category: This is also a search criterion, so careful selection of the category is very important. To find the available categories, you can mouse over the link ‘EXPLORE’ at the top of the header bar for reference.

Tags: Tags are crucial for the visibility of your listing. You have options to add up to 30 tags, depending on the package you choose. Careful selection of your tags makes a huge difference in the visibility of your listing. We allow multi-word tags, such as “Chicken Tikka” or “weekends with the kids.” A couple of tips about tagging:

• Be consistent – use the same wording everywhere.
• Be specific – vague terminology returns vague results.
• Be helpful – if you don’t know why you tagged a restaurant with “bedroom,” chances are no one else will either.

Type of Listing (Sub-Category): The type of listing is a more specific definition of your business. For example, the main category might be Healthcare, and the type of listing could be a hospital or pharmacy.

Contact Details (Only for Paid Users): Paid members can display their telephone number, email ID, and URL in the title area of the listing, making it easier for users to contact you immediately upon seeing the listing.

Location/Map: Locations are the places of business you possess. We have incorporated a map where you can mark your business location. On the search result page, the results are marked on the map so that customers can find your business easily. This feature is very useful for walk-in customers.

Ratings & Reviews: Allow your website visitors to rate and review your business page. You can give control to your members by allowing them to manage their reviews, or you can take complete control and manually moderate reviews on your listings. Reviews are displayed on your business listing pages.

Claim Your Business: If you are a business owner and your business listing is already on our website, but you missed or forgot the user credentials, or you feel that someone else is managing your listing, you can let us know so that we can investigate and come up with a favorable solution.

‘Report’ a Business: Reporting a business listing is a request for the removal of inappropriate content or to notify the admin about some obnoxious behavior related to the listing or something that was promised but not facilitated.

Like a Business: Another feature we have introduced is ‘Like’ a business. By liking a business, a user can add the listing to their dashboard for further reference/view. It will be helpful to compare or shortlist a service or product.

Opening Hours: We have incorporated a time frame indicating when you are available for your business, including opening time, closing time, holidays, etc.

Header Images: To beautify your page, you can now add up to 3 header images, which can be a logo, a product snap, or anything that represents your company well. Ensure that your images are cropped to the specified dimensions for a better look. We support the following file types for uploads: JPG, GIF, and PNG.

Image Gallery (Only for Paid Users): You can upload up to 30 images in the gallery to help explain your business better. Follow the image specs and guidelines to ensure that your listing looks good and avoid blockages. We support the following file types for uploads: JPG, GIF, and PNG.

Document Downloads (Only for Paid Users): We provide the option to upload up to 10 documents for downloading. You can upload image formats, Doc, Excel, and PDF formats for your customers to download.

Video URL (Only for Paid Users): There is a facility to post a video URL (YouTube, etc.) in your listing, which will be displayed and played within the listing page itself.

Quick Contact: In this version, we have incorporated the contact form on the page itself, with no pop-up or another page to contact you. It is easy and quick for a user to reach you.

Ratings and Reviews: So, what’s the difference between a review and a rating? Now, users can give a testimonial or comment about your business on the listing details page so that other users can see it. A rating is a quick yes or no vote on a service or product. You can change it at any time by logging into your account.

There are many other features added to the listings to create a complete impact for an independent webpage.
