West Deptford Patch isn’t just the place readers go to find the latest news and events in town—it’s how residents and visitors alike connect with West Deptford businesses. And township business owners can use Patch to reach potential customers.

Patch’s goal is to have every business and service in town listed under our Places directory. There, readers can find a description of the business, store hours, payments, a map and much more.

We’ve outfitted Places listings with the information we know—now it’s time for local owners to step in and claim their listing to make the entry even more comprehensive.

Once you’re approved, a “manage your listing” button will magically appear on your Places page, taking you to a dashboard.

From the dashboard, you can make changes and updates to your listing. On the left side of the dashboard you have several options: your stats, edit listing, manage photos & media, reviews, free tools, paid tools and contact sales.

Your Stats:

Here you can see how many users have rated, reviewed or follow your listing. You can email your customers to seek out more reviews, and link the Patch Place to your Facebook or Twitter account.

Edit Listing:

Add photos, website information, hours of operation, contact information and more under the "basic info" tab. Some of this information cannot be changed, but you can request a new description if you think your business is inaccurately described.

Choose "extra info" to add information like the founding date of your business, what kinds of payments you accept, if there's street parking or a lot, and much more.

Manage Photos & Media:

Here you can add and edit photos and choose which image is featured. If you have video or PDFs, you would add that here too.

Reviews:

You can see what people have to say about your business.

Free Tools:

Post events and add job openings to our classifieds section, also known as the Marketplace.

Paid Tools:

You can upgrade your listing with a video profile, add a message from the owner and become a featured business on the Places page for a fee. Learn more about these options and how to get in touch with a sales team member.

So claim your listing today to help keep Patch users up to date with your company and keep your listing looking fresh.
