As a bar owner, you’re probably most interested in how your bar shows up in the site, and curious about how you can better present your bar to Bars For Us’ users.
In short, Bars For Us allows users to select the criteria that are important for them in choosing a bar, and we display the results on the site in two ways: as pins on the map, and in the text listing below the map. The results are based on the data we have in the database in your bar, and therefore the accuracy of the listings are dependent on bars being listed on the site and both of use keeping the basic information up to date.
What do I do if my bar is not on the site?
Fill out this brief form to submit your bar free of charge. We use the information you provide us as the basis of users’ search results, so please make sure the information is accurate.
What if my site is in Bars For Us, but some of the information is wrong?
Fill out this form to change your information. We’re dedicated to keeping Bars For Us accurate for our users, so we really appreciate your help in making sure we have the best information about your bar.
What can I do to promote my bar on Bars For Us?
If you’re interested in promoting your site, we offer three primary ways for you to purchase space to advertise and promote your bar:
1) Advertise next to a listing in the main results
All bars that fit the selected criteria are shown in the results list. Sometimes there will only be a bar or two listed (depending on the criteria the user selects), and sometimes there will be many listed. You can purchase higher placement in the results list and also highlight your bar by advertising your specials directly in the listing next to your bar.
2) Advertise next to the basic information about your bar on the map pop-up window
Once a user clicks on a bar on the map, a window opens to give the basic information about your bar, and you can use the space to highlight your specials, events and the most important thing about your bar.
3) Advertise on your bar’s page
Bars that pay to advertise get a special page that users and view after clicking on your bar in the results listing or the map pop-up window. The special page is a way for you to provide richer, more detailed information about your bar and to also highlight your specials.
Advertisements are great ways for you to supply up-to-date information about special drinks nights, events and other timely information about your bar. We are in the process of creating a very simple system to allow you to update the promotions in real-time, whenever you want, so that you can reach users as quickly as possible. Look for more information about this to come soon on our site and our blog as we announce new features.
