Get the Midget Why? Upgrading

To get the midget in your website you will need to register. You can do that here.

Once you have registered and validated your account, you will be able to add the details of your business by logging in and adding "a place". When you add your business, you will be able to recommend other businesses who you trust add pertinent details and photographs or logos.

When you add your business, you will be sent an email which will give you the code to embed the Midget in your website. If you lose the mail, don't worry, the code can be found in the get code link to the right of the place listing on the My Places page. Copy and paste the code in the <body> tag of your website page.

The Midget will give you a simple summary of your business on your website, show people where you are, and show visitors to the site other services you recommend.

It looks like this, and is customised for your own site.

But you also get exposure on websites of businesses located near you. Every time the Midget pops up on the website of a business near you, you will be on the map! So you don't need to be recommended by a business to get additional exposure. By putting yourself on the map, you are seen by web users looking for businesses nearby.

So you have put your business on the map and have seen the benefits. With a premium listing you get additional functionality.

You can see how often your business is viewed, and from which website.

You can add events and specials to your listing.

Your business will be highlighted on the map every time it is viewed

In the future, you will be able to add vouchers to your specials, and better still - you will be seen by users of our mobile application when they are in the area.

More exposure means more feet through the door.

You can upgrade from the "My places" page by clicking the upgrade link next to your business.

Revenue opportunities
There are some opportunities to earn revenue with HereAbout. When you register you will be given a unique code. Should advertisers subsequently register with your code (which happens automatically if they register from your recommendation), you will receive a commission. More detail can be found at our Get Involved page.
