Get found: the Ordina directory and search
Every business on a plan or a trial is listed in the Ordina directory for free, by default. What your card shows, and how to hide it if you prefer.
The directory
Ordina has a public directory at useordina.com/discover where customers browse businesses and book them. Every business on a plan or a trial is listed by default, for free, and your card links straight to your booking page. When we list you, your Secretary sends you a message to say so.
Your card is filed under the state or region from your address. If you have not picked a state yet, you are listed under More businesses until you do.
What your card shows
- Your logo, or the first letter of your business name.
- The colours of your page look.
- Your city and state, when you have added them.
- Your tagline or short bio, when you have written one.
- What kind of business you are, once you have confirmed it with your Secretary.
Cards with a photo, a tagline or bio, and live items in Store are shown first, so a fuller profile is easier to find. Your page → Business → Ordina directory shows whether you are listed.
While your plan is paused
If your plan is paused, you stay in the directory as long as you have finished setting up and have at least one live item in Store. Your card moves to Also on Ordina, below the businesses taking bookings, with a Bookings paused tag and a Contact button instead of Book. Contact opens your page, which shows your address, phone, email and links, so customers can still reach you.
You are not counted among the businesses taking bookings while you are paused. As soon as your plan is active again, your card moves back up and the Book button returns.
Hiding yourself
Open Your page → Business and turn on Hide my business from the directory. Your card is removed from the directory and from search, whether your plan is active or paused. Your booking page keeps working exactly as before, and you can turn the switch off at any time to be listed again.
Search engines
Your booking page is a normal web page and search engines index it. Verified businesses get a search boost. To help Google:
- Use your real business name and city.
- Fill the bio with the words customers search for ("bridal makeup", "deep tissue massage").
- Add the link to your Google Business Profile as the appointments URL.
- Collect reviews; the reviews on your page are indexed too.
