GeoClassifieds Enterprise - Segmented Features List
 Product Features [Page 2]
Customization of your Classifieds Software
HTML template-based program allows for a truly customizable appearance for each page your classifieds site. Take a look at some of our current Enterprise Version customer's sites to see its versatility.
BENEFIT: Don't look like everyone elses classified ads who uses the software. Create your own look.

Extra Pages feature allows you to set up additional PHP driven pages. This allows you to easily launch your "About Us", "Contact Us", etc. pages without having to link outside of the program to html pages on your site.
BENEFIT: Since these are PHP driven pages, you can insert the software's many PHP Modules to display dynamic content from the database as well.

Categories and subcategories pages can have their own unique appearance. For example, you may want to change up the classifieds header of the "automobiles" category to show a collage of vehicles, but then show collage of electric devices in the header of the "electronics" category.
BENEFIT: Offer a truly customized experience to your customers when they are browsing each category....different genres for different classified categories.

Hottest Ads module displays a table of ads that have been viewed the most times. As with all modules, place this module wherever you want on your page.

Complete variable control over the classified ad display page to include fonts, colors, and fields. Place fields wherever you want them on the page.
BENEFIT: You can assign different CLASSIFIED AD DISPLAY TEMPLATES for each category if you want to.

Title Module displays dynamic content into the Browser's Title Bar depending on which page of the site the visitor is on. For example, if the visitor is on an ad display page, the title of that classified ad will be displayed in the Browser's title bar.
BENEFIT: Search engine friendliness. Search engines read page titles. Having a dynamic title module that reads and displays results depending on the current page increases your classified site's search engine results.

Add as many extra questions as you would like to the ad display page including blank text boxes, custom checkboxes and custom dropdown boxes. Optionally give the seller an "other" box to fill in if none of your dropdown values meet their criteria.
BENEFIT: You are giving your visitors a more personalized experience by giving them category specific questions and prevalued dropdowns to choose rather than making them physically type in every answer.

Featured and Newest Ad module tables can each be set to either display a photo of the item, or an icon of your choice (such as a camera).

Featured and Newest Ad module tables can be set to display an image of your choice when the user has not entered any images. For example, an image that displays "NO PHOTO".

Checkboxes save the seller time when placing their ad. They allow the seller to display certain features of their item very neatly and cleanly within the body of the ad. For example, in the automobiles category you can list typical auto features such as "automatic transmission", "cd player", etc. The seller clicks the radio button and that feature is automatically assigned to their ad…no typing!

Complete variable control over all site text and backgrounds including text colors, fonts (including bold, italic, etc.), background colors.

Can replace GeoClassifieds standard buttons with your own buttons.
BENEFIT: Our classified software offers yet even more customization ability. We strive to give you a good starting point with attractive images and buttons, but you can replace all of these with your own if you wish to.

Over 50 modules included that can be placed anywhere throughout your site to display different sets of data or perform distinct functions. These modules consist of varying ways to display ads, html content, custom php modules, and user information.
BENEFIT: Each module is displayed by using a short tag (usually less than 30 characters). You can move this tag around anywhere with your html template that you want to display the module. For instance, you can display featured classified ads in a table in the center of the home page, or in the left or right column of the page...or anywhere you want to place it within your template.

Ability to display up to five (5) levels of featured ad status.
BENEFIT: Charge sellers different fees based upon which feature ad level they select during the Place an Ad process. Each level will have a different level of exposure on your site, which allows you to charge more for higher levels.

Classified software has the ability to display featured picture ads, where only a thumbnail of the ad, and an optional display of price and title are shown. Picture ads can be displayed in as many columns and rows as desired.

Classified software has the ability for the user to sort columns while browsing. For example, the user can sort by Title, Price, etc. Also, each Site Wide Field (unique fields you enter) can be displayed in browsing results tables and they too become sortable!
BENEFIT: This makes your site categories much easier to browse and creates interactivity between your site and the user.

Set the number of category browsing columns to be different than on subcategory pages. For example on the front page display 2 columns of categories. Then on the subcategories pages display 3 columns of subcategories.

Specify the page that users will be directed to after they have logged in to your site - either the "user management home" or "site home".

Classifieds software has the ability to display the current user's first and/or last name, email or username in an effort to personalize any page.

Fee-Based Features

For example, radio spots can contain one promo code, while newspaper advertisements can contain another promo code. As users register and enter their promo codes, you will know where they heard about you based upon the promo code they enter. This will help you to evaluate your marketing efforts and adjust your focus accordingly.

Offer free listings, fee-based listings, or subscription-based listings.
BENEFIT: The software allows you to offer periods of free listings (such as during start up when you are populating your site) and then automatically begins charging users based upon a date or time period from registration you specify.
