Getting Started

Create Your Byolife Business Listing

Follow THREE simple steps to get your business/product listing up and running.
If you have already created a profile you can skip ahead to Step 2. If your listing has been created by another user, you can skip Step 2.

1. Sign In or Register

Your profile is your starting point and will provide you with access to your dashboard, the hub for all of your business tools and listings.

 

Create Your Profile

The first step in creating your business or product listing is to Sign In or Register. You can create an account using your own name or create a profile for your business.

Once you have created a profile you can then edit your personal or business information via your very own dashboard. Until you create a business or product listing, all you will have access to in your dashboard is your profile, bookmarked listings and any reviews you have left for other businesses.

Take the time to complete your profile.

2a. Select Your Plan

Byolife Business offers three pricing plans for business or product listings. If you are unsure where to get started you can always begin on a Free plan and upgrade at any time should you require additional features on your listing.

After you have signed in, select Add Listing from within your dashboard or from the top navigation bar of the site.

A lot of businesses will simply create a listing for their business as they only offer one product or service. If your business promotes multiple brands, you may, however, choose to create a separate listing for each of your products. For example, you may offer accommodation and guided tours so it makes sense to create a separate listing for both products to increase your reach.

The paid plans are packaged to include multiple listings so select the one that best suits your business needs.

2b. Create Your Byolife Listing

Byolife provides an easy to use submission form for creating and publishing your business or product listing.

This form allows you to enter important information about your business or product. We have tried to make this process easy for you by automating the population of data using Google APIs, so give Byolife-bot a try.

It is recommended that you complete as much information as possible including opening hours, FAQs, tags and keywords as all of this will help in search results.

Most importantly, don’t forget to select all categories that apply to your business or product (including the primary categories) and ensure that you upload a correctly formatted logo, feature image and gallery image(s). Remember, a picture speaks a thousand words.

  • Logo: 512x512px
  • Feature Image: 1024x660px
  • Gallery Images: 1024x660px

2c. Publish and Pay

You have almost reached the final stage of the listing process. After previewing your listing it is time to publish and pay (most first time users select the FREE listing and your listing is ready for your customers to buy from you. Skip the payment section)

At this stage, Byolife offers payment via Paynow or Direct Bank Transfer. If you have made your payment via Paynow, your listing will be live as soon as the payment has been processed. If you chose the Bank Transfer method you will need to wait until funds have cleared before your listing will be published.

A tax invoice will be emailed to your registered email account.

 

2d. Edit Your Listing

Byolife provides an easy to use, form for editing your existing business or product listing. This form allows you to update important information about your business or product so that your information is always current. If you wish to take advantage of the additional features offered in the MyBusiness or MyBusiness Pro plans you can easily upgrade at any time.

3. Claim Your Listing

The final step in listing your business or product. Once your listing is live on the site, please preview your listing and ‘Claim‘ it as your own.

The byolife.co.zw platform allows all registered users to create business or product listings. They do not have to own or work in the business.

If someone has done you a favour and created your listing for you, take control of your listing by claiming it as your own. The byolife.co.zw team will review your claim and it will then be linked to your account. If you are not yet on a payment plan you will be able to keep the listing on the Free plan or upgrade to the plan of your choice.
