Local

Publishers Performance Report – Location-Based Filtering

Opportunity: The ability to download and share publishers’ performance for specific locations is a great way to analyze and improve the accuracy of the data provided for individual business locations across local channels. 

Solution: Milestone Local’s Publishers section allows you to download a spreadsheet of your local profile’s performance across multiple channels or publishers. The accuracy of your business information of these channels is available in this spreadsheet for easy analysis and redistribution.

Path: Milestone Local > Publishers > Export

Start by selecting the location you wish to download the publisher information for.

Click on the ‘Export’ button to the top right. You can choose to either schedule the report for a future date and set it periodic date to generate it or download the current status to a spreadsheet.

If you download the report you will see a message to the top right of the screen. Depending on the number of channels and the date range selected this report can take a few minutes to generate.

The generated report will contain data only for the selected business location.

Optimization of Apple Showcase Images

Apple Showcase requires images to be in a 1:1 ratio. Milestone Local automatically converts your images to a 1:1 ratio so that they can be used in Apple Showcase.

Path: Milestone Local > Post Summary > Create Post

Click on ‘Create Post’ in the Post Summary Section of Milestone Local.

Select the profiles you wish to create the Apple Showcase post for.

Select ‘Apple’ from the Publish To section.

Add the details of the post and upload the image.

If you click on the image in the Apple Showcase you can see that it has been converted to a 1:1 image.

Schema Manager

Global Schema Reference

Referencing schema on Milestone Schema Manager can now inherit schema from the original global schema.

For example, Schema A is declared a global schema and Schema B is referencing Schema A. If Schema C is referencing Schema B it will also reference Schema A.

Path: Milestone Schema Manager > Tag Schema

In this example, ‘Organization’ schema has been declared as a global reference schema.

‘Resort’ schema references the global ‘Organization’ schema.

Let’s now add a schema that references ‘Resort’ schema.

You can see that the schema is now referencing both ‘Resort’ and ‘Organization’ schema.
