How to list and setup your business on Upspring?
Listing your business on Upspring is easy. Simply set up an account on Upspring. When you join, you'll be asked to find your business, and then claim your business. If your business is not listed in our database, you can add a business. We give you the opportunity to create your own custom vanity URL (i.e. www.upspring.com/MyOrganizationName-City) for your business. Businesses with more than one branch can create multiple accounts and custom URLs for each location. To maximize online exposure, you are required to create a unique business profile for each location.
When you first sign in to your account, you'll find the Getting Started Guide. Follow the To-Do List to get the most out of your experience on Upspring. Take time to create the profiles, and complete all of the fields. Your unique profile enables people to easily find and connect with you. Then connect Upspring to your personal social networks, import your contact data into Upspring Contacts, and invite your professional contacts within your social groups to connect with you on Upspring. Upspring Contacts simplifies contact management by making it easy for you to manage all of your professional and social contacts in one place, including your friends on Facebook and Myspace, followers on Twitter, and others. After that, you can begin asking questions or reaching out to your contacts, who want to ask you questions. You will be notified via email when you receive a new question and you can elect to answer the question or simply ignore it.
When you connect Upspring to Facebook or Twitter, Upspring will stream the feeds, and display them in one place to help you stay updated with the people and activities you care about. Upspring makes it easy for you to listen and keep track of what people are saying about you and your brand, allowing you to join the conversations by tweeting, sharing photos or links directly from Upspring, and instantly adding anyone to your contact manager from your feeds.
