3. Claim Your Listings: Are you a local business? Admin at a local school? Clerk at a town office? . Here are the top reasons why you should claim your listings:

• It's Easy: It will be the easiest thing you do all day. Well, besides have a cup of coffee. In fact, you could claim your listing while you have a cup of coffee. That's how easy it is.
• Check Your Stats: you can see how many users have rated, reviewed or follow your listing. You can email your customers to seek out more reviews, and link the Patch Place to your Facebook or Twitter account.
• Edit Your Listing: Add photos, website information, hours of operation, contact information and more under the "basic info" tab. Some of this information cannot be changed, but you can request a new description if you think your business is inaccurately described. You can also add information like the founding date of your business, what kinds of payments you accept, if there's street parking or a lot and much more.
• Manage Your Photos & Media: You can add and edit photos and choose which image is featured. If you have video or PDFs, you can add that too.
