Platform Enhancements

Getting Started Panel

Just logged-in to the platform and not sure where to start? No problem! We are introducing a new Getting Started Panel that gives you the best first actions to take when starting out. The actions in the list dynamically update depending on the features included with your package and give you a clear list of tasks that help you get the most out of the platform. 

Platform Component Updates

We're updating the platform's component library to a newer version. Over the next few weeks, you'll notice minor changes to how certain elements look across the platform — a gradual rollout happening in phases from August.

What this means for you & your customers

• Faster-loading components — we've optimized how components render, cutting down loading time across key screens.
• More accessible — better color contrast, clearer focus states, and more consistent interactions throughout, including for users relying on assistive technology.
• Easier to white-label — in this first phase, we're streamlining color options and making the white-label function configurable to you.
• Nothing — just a platform that feels snappier and looks more polished!

Listings Innovations

Permissions Management

Correctly provisioning the connection Facebook & Instagram is required for taking advantage of features within the platform; publishing location data, creating social posts, and pulling analytics. 

Users will encounter challenges if these permissions are denied and admins may have trouble identifying what the issues are. This often leads to users having to disconnect and reconnect the entire Facebook connection. 

We are introducing a new flow that makes it easier to resolve any provisioning issues that can occur when authenticating Facebook and Instagram. 

Key Benefits ✨

• New workflow to grant access to all Facebook and Instagram pages for the authorized user.
• New workflow grants access to all permissions on the page to use for platform actions (location updates, posts, and pulling analytics).
• Enables resolution at the location level for location managers from the listings page, previously only available at the business level connection for Admins or Business Managers. 

Getting Started

Users can identify permission issues and launch the new flow from the Homepage, Business Listings Connections page, or a Location's Connections + Listings page. Each area will have a ‘Complete Connection’ call-to-action to launch the new permissions flow.

When launched, the new flow opens a modal dynamically identifying which permissions are required for the account or location. For a seamless connection we ask that you enable all access required in the modal and acknowledge that you have the credentials to authorize it.

AI Discoverability

AI search has become a key channel where consumers are discovering your businesses. Those AI tools where consumers search (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity) retrieve your business data from the same trusted sources that Uberall publishes your location data to. Because of this, you can rest assured knowing that your business is always putting its best foot forward in AI search visibility.

This update adds ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity to the list of connections found at the location level providing the reassurance your data has been “submitted” to their trusted sources giving the AI tools access to your latest updates and confidence to recommend your business.

Mobile App Enhancements

Image Cropping

With this update we are making it easier to upload photos to location profiles when you're on the go! By adding the capability of cropping uploaded images, users can upload any image through the mobile app and crop to fit the proper aspect ratio needed. As example, a logos typically need to be in a square format and this can be easily accomplished using the new cropping tool. Use the image cropping tool by tapping an uploaded photo and click on the ‘Edit’ button to launch the tool. 

 Local Page Enhancements

FAQ Content Type

Search engines and AI assistants (AI Overviews/Gemini, ChatGPT, and Perplexity) no longer just match to keywords; they evaluate confidence and trust. Having frequently asked questions (FAQs) on your local pages acts as an essential bridge between what consumers ask and what AI models need to retrieve in a format that AI and search engines prefer.

The FAQ Content type is a new option that will be available within Content Collections. Users will be able to create FAQs for their local pages that will help improve their visibility in local and AI search. Once created, they be aggregated into Content Collection that can be utilized across Local Pages. If you are using Uberall's Self-Builder, you can easily toggle the visibility of the FAQs on the Local Page configurations.
