Click the gear icon to go to your Account page. If you have a Good Market Approved enterprise, use the login switch in the top right corner to change from your personal account to your enterprise account.
Category: The first step is to select a category and subcategory for your marketplace listing. This will help with search and filtering. If you can’t find what you are looking for, select Other, and get in touch to recommend additional options.
Text: Add a short clear title, a description, and keywords to improve visibility in search. In the description text, provide as much detail as possible. For example, if you have a product, you can let people know where it is stocked.
Image: You can choose to upload a new photo, or you can use your logo or the main photo from your profile page. If you have a product, event, or place to promote, a new photo is recommended. If you want to highlight a service or need, using your profile logo or main photo may be the quickest and easiest option.
Link: If you want your marketplace listing to redirect to another site, you can include a link. For example, you might want to link to your own online store or marketplace, a booking site, Facebook event, job board, or crowdfunding campaign.
When you click the Publish button, your marketplace listing will appear on the marketplace home page, in search results, on your profile page, and in your followers’ feeds. It can be shared on social media or boosted.
The community marketplace will continue to improve over time based on feedback from the Good Market community. Have ideas? Get in touch.
The photos and information that appears in your profile page are based on what you included in your application form. You can edit and update your profile name, location, contact details, links, logo, photos, and claims at any time.
Click the Edit button to open your application form. Make the required changes and click the Publish button at the bottom of the form when you are done.
For contact details, make sure to use the correct format so that the links on your page work. For example, the phone number should include the country code with no spaces or other characters. Social media links should include the full URL link and not just the name of your page.
The location name that appears under your profile name is automatically generated by Google Maps based on where you dropped the red pointer on the map in the application form. If the location name on your profile page is not correct, open the form, check to make sure the pointer is on the correct spot on the map, and click Publish. If the pointer is on the correct spot, but the location name is not correct, you can report the issue to Google Maps and recommend a name change for that location.
Logos are “fit” on the site, which means they will fit within the square regardless of their size or shape. Photos are “fill” which means they appear cropped to a square shape (1:1 ratio). Clicking on a photo opens the full size image in a gallery. Profile photos should include actual images of your products, services, team, or place, and should highlight social and environmental impact. Computer graphics and text-based images should not be used as profile photos. The profiles look best with at least two photos. If two photos were not included in your application, additional images from social media may be added. These can be updated after your profile is published.
The description paragraph on your profile page is based on the information you provided in your application and information that is available online.
The paragraphs are written by admin in order to:
If you would like something changed in your description paragraph, get in touch by email or send a message to the Good Market team the next time you update your profile information. If you have a profile published on the site, there will be a green arrow tab in the top right of your application. Click the arrow to open and type a message. When you click the Publish button, the message will be sent.
Click the Stats button at the top of your enterprise account page to see how many people have viewed, followed, and shared your profile page and how many people have clicked the contact button to access your phone number, email, and links.
The Page Contact statistic includes everyone that clicked the contact button. Because visitors to the site do not have to be logged in to access contact details and links, their information may not be available in the site. It is possible they already reached out through phone, email or social media.
Click the Resources button to access the page where you can download a copy of your certificate, “Good Market Approved” logos, and other resources. There is also a link to the conditions for using the Good Market Approved brand and logo.
When you are approved, a paper copy of the logo is printed and sent to the postal address included at the end of your application form. If you haven’t received a paper certificate within 4 weeks, please get in touch.
If you would like additional copies of your certificate, you can download the file from the Resources page. The certificate is automatically generated based on the information in your application form. If you would like to change the name on the certificate, update the profile name in your application form and click publish.
The Good Market Approved logo is available in three downloadable formats: PNG, EPS, and PDF. It can also be added to a website. Copying and pasting the code into a website will create a clickable widget that links back to the Good Market site. When you are copying and pasting the code, you can update the web address to redirect to your own profile page, and you can update the width and height measurements to change the size in the site. You can find more information about adding custom HTML code to popular website builders here:
