Some Explanations:
What is a Listing?
A Listing is simply the subscription which enables you to add items (Business, Product, Service, or Event) into Aba BUSINESS Pages platform, from your Admin Dashboard.
You can have multiple listings in multiple Categories. For example, you may list under Business, or Products, or Services, or Schools, or Hotels, or City-Shops, or Events, etc.; or in ALL of them. You are only limited by your Membership Plan, but you can always upgrade to a higher Plan if you need to add more images.
What is Category?
Category indicates where your business, product or service belongs. Every Listing must belong to a Category or sub-Category for easy discovery and search engine optimization purposes.
Aba BUSINESS Pages operates a nested categories system. This simply means that there is a hierarchy of Categories, sub-Categories and Postings.
Postings refer to entries such as business, products, services, and events, which you have added to your membership account.
It is important to choose the appropriate Category and sub-Category for your Listing. This is necessary for you to be properly discovered in search results. Note that some Categories have sub-Categories with similar names. Be sure to choose the right sub-Category under the right Category.
Handling Images
Avoid uploading heavy images for your Listings as this will slow down your Page load speed; which can cause your visitors to click away from your Page.
We recommend a Listing Image size of less than 100 KB. We also recommend image dimension of 850 x 650 pixels (width 850 and height 650) at a resolution of 100 dpi. This makes for fast loading of your Pages on most devices and without loss of definition.
