Communities Served

The Communities Served view enables you to manage a list of the areas that you cover as an agent. On the Home page of the consumer website, Market Leader displays a list of the areas you serve. The Communities Served list links website visitors to specific information on a community.

The Communities Served list affects the following.

• Every community name you add will display in the Search Widget area drop-down list.
• If you are a broker or a team leader and you have chosen to participate in the referral network, then the ZIP codes you add in Communities Served will dictate both the outgoing and incoming referrals.

If you are a Business Suite user, see your site owner to use this feature.
