What is a Pro Listings Page?
We're working on a new functionality that we hope to launch next year. A Pro Listings Page is a webpage for your listings on Boat-Slips.com. Your page will be hosted on boat-slips.com, which means you'll get an easy-to-use portal for managing your listings, plus all of your listings will be visible to a larger audience of people searching for slipA s and moorings. Having a Pro Listings Page will be especially benefitial to marinas, dock managers and harbormasters.
Our team will help you setup your page and upload your slips to your Pro Listings Page. If you have a website, we'll help you put a link on your website to your new listings page.
Your Pro Listings Page will have your own logo and branding, as well as a section for your dock rules and policies. It saves time and hassle!
With a Pro Listings Page, your boat slip listings will show in three places online:
1. On your own listings page,
2. In Boat-Slips.com search results,
3. In search engines (such as Google).
Having a Pro Listings Page is very beneficial for increasing your reach to more potential customers.
