One of the search criteria used within The Ad Index site is that of location. You will have set up your primary location as part of entering your display page details. However, if you have multiple sites or operate in multiple areas of the country you can use this locations section to associate your business with those other geographic areas. In doing so, it will mean that your business will be returned in user search results for those additional geographies as well as the primary area entered when creating your display page.

Log on
In order to maintain your locations you need to log in to the administration area for the associated advertiser account.

The login option appears on the top right of every page – click this option.

A pop-up login box will appear.

Enter your username and password in the appropriate boxes then click submit.

Updating your locations
You will now see a menu of options on the left side of the screen – click the option to 'Edit Locations'

What happens next
When you make changes to your display, your page will be placed in a quarantine for us to review prior to being made live for public view. This is for quality review purposes, and to ensure unsuitable material is not released onto The Ad Index. We perform regular daily reviews of all listings in quarantine, to get your display back on view as soon as possible.

If we feel we can help you improve your display page, or if there is content we deem to be unsuitable for display on The Ad Index we will contact you.
