How To Setup Listings for Food & HealthCare Add‑ons

Before You Start (Prerequisites & Roles)

Access: You must be able to create/edit Listings for the sub‑account.
Data prep (Recommended):
- Food: Current menus (names, sections, items), prices, calories, allergens, spice level, and 1–3 photos per popular item.
- HealthCare: Provider/facility details (NPI for professionals in the U.S.), insurance accepted, accepting‑new‑patients status, education & training, conditions treated, headshots.
- All: Payment Options and a short Featured Message (promo/notice).
Images: Use clear, well‑lit images. Prefer consistent aspect ratios; avoid text‑heavy graphics.

Step 1 — Create or Edit a Listing

Open your sub‑account and go to Reputation from the sidebar.
Click Listings to create one, or select an existing listing and click Edit.
Ensure the business category reflects either Food (restaurants/dining) or HealthCare (facility/professional).
The category determines eligibility for the add‑on prompt.

Step 2 — Confirm Eligibility

After saving the basic profile/category, look for the Upgrade prompt indicating Food Add‑on or HealthCare Add‑on availability.
If you don’t see the prompt:
- Re‑check the category selection.
- Ensure the listing includes a valid address and phone.
- Save and refresh the page.

Step 3 — Upgrade the Listing (Entity Transformation)

Click Upgrade and review the summary of changes.
Confirm the transformation to one of the following entity types:
- Food (restaurant/food service)
- HealthCare Facility
- HealthCare Professional
The profile reloads with new, industry‑specific fields and controls.

Important: This change is not reversible. If you chose the wrong type, archive this listing and create a new one with the correct category.

Step 4 — Configure Industry‑Specific Fields

A) Food (Restaurants)

Open the Food Details panel:
- Attire: Select from list (e.g., casual, business casual, formal).
- Accepts Reservations: Toggle Yes/No; add reservation link if applicable.
- Meals Served: Select all that apply (Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Dinner, Late Night).
Build Your Menus:
- Click Add Menu → name it (e.g., Lunch, Dinner, Happy Hour).
- Within a menu, click Add Section (e.g., Appetizers, Mains, Desserts, Beverages).
- For each Item, add: Name, Price, Description, Calories, Allergens, Spice Level, and an Item Photo.
- Reorder sections/items via drag‑and‑drop if available.
Add Payment Options (cards, mobile pay) and a concise Featured Message (e.g., seasonal menu, holiday hours).

B) HealthCare (Facilities & Professionals)

Choose Facility vs Professional fields panel, then complete:
- Professionals: NPI, First/Last Name, Office/Practice Name, Headshot, Provider Bio, Accepting New Patients, Insurance Accepted, Education & Training, Degrees, Conditions Treated, Admitting Hospitals (if applicable).
- Facilities: Facility Name, Departments/Services, Accepting New Patients, Insurance Accepted, Operating Hours, Contact & Location.
Ensure names/credentials match official records. For U.S. providers, validate NPI formatting before saving.
Add Payment Options and a Featured Message (avoid medical advice; use for access/notice info).

Healthcare QA Tips:

Use professional headshots on neutral backgrounds.
Keep bios concise and factual; avoid PHI or case details.
List insurance networks using official names.

Step 5 — Publish and Distribute

Click Save/Publish to commit your updates.
Distribution to publishers begins automatically where supported (e.g., MenuPix/OpenTable for Food, WebMD/Vitals for HealthCare; availability varies by country/publisher).
Expect standard sync windows; some publishers may take longer to reflect changes.

Step 6 — Quality Check & Ongoing Management

Preview the listing and verify key details (menus, provider attributes, hours, contact info).
Revisit Analytics to monitor impressions and actions after changes propagate.
Review Suggestions from publishers; accept/reject with care, especially for menus and provider info.
Use Audit History to track who changed critical fields (menus, NPI, insurance).
