When a new or existing listing is added or amended the listing is placed in a suspended state. We moderate all listings to avoid spam, we will also check to make sure the correct Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) has been added.

There is the option for people to leave reviews about your business, much like those on other platforms such as Facebook and TripAdvisor. Our reviews can support your wider reputation by appearing in searches and your Google listing.

Example:

To help build your reviews on Southhams.com we recommend:

Sharing the link to your business profile on other marketing platforms such as Facebook and customer newsletters.

Telling your team and other people you know about the page and encouraging them to leave a review by clicking on the ‘write review’ button.

You can also add reviews from other platforms yourself, such as those that have been hand written to you or shared on TripAdvisor. To do this, simply log out of your account, navigate to your SouthHams.com profile as if you were a visitor, press the ‘write review’ button and follow the instructions. Make sure when you do this that you are not logged into your account.

Tip - Don't add more than one review at the same time.
