How to Use Labels

Labels are a flexible tagging system designed to help you organize your scans, business locations, and clients. As your account grows, it can be difficult to find a specific scan or group of locations. Labels solve this by allowing you to categorize your work with custom tags. With a few clicks, you can create, assign, and filter by labels to keep your dashboard tidy and find what you need in seconds.

Why Use Labels?

Labels turn a cluttered dashboard into an organized one, saving you time and making your data easier to manage. Instead of scrolling through long lists, you can instantly group and retrieve related items.

Here are the key benefits:

• Instantly Filter Your Dashboards: Find exactly what you’re looking for in seconds by filtering your scan history and location lists to view only items with specific labels.
• Streamline Client Reporting: Group all scans for a specific client to make preparing White Label Reports faster and more accurate.
• Improve Team Collaboration: A consistent labeling system ensures everyone on your team can find and manage campaigns, locations, or client assets.
• Scale Your Operations: Effortlessly manage hundreds of clients or locations without getting overwhelmed by data.

How to Create, Apply, and Filter with Labels

You can create and apply labels directly from your main dashboards. 

Step 1: Create and Add a New Label

For a New Scan

1. During the scan setup, find the “label” field.
2. To create a new label, type a name (e.g., “Client: Downtown Dental”) and press Enter.

3. To use an existing label, click the field and select from the dropdown menu. You can select multiple labels for a single scan.

For an Existing Scan

1. Go to your main Scans dashboard.
2. Select one or more scans using the checkboxes.

3. An “Add Label” button will appear. Click it.

4. Select the desired label(s) from the dropdown menu to apply them in bulk.
5. You can also add or remove labels from an individual scan’s Settings.

Step 2: Filter and Find Scans Using Labels

Using the Main Filter Dropdown

1. At the top of the Scans dashboard, click the Filter button.
2. Choose the Label filter option.

3. Select one or more labels. The dashboard will instantly update to show only the scans that match.

Using the Label Tag Shortcut

1. In your scan list, all applied labels appear as clickable tags.
2. Click on any label tag (e.g., “West Coast”) to instantly filter the dashboard and see all other scans with that same label.

Step 3: Manage All Your Labels in One Place

1. Navigate to Settings > My Account > Edit Labels to access the central management page.
2. From here, you can:
   • Edit: Change a label’s name. The change will update everywhere the label is used.
   • Delete: Permanently remove a label from your list. This only removes the tag and does not delete any scans or locations.
   • Search: Quickly find a specific label.
   • Add New: Create new labels to use later.

Best Practices for Using Labels

Tips for Agencies

• Organize by Client: Create a unique label for each client (e.g., “Client: Main St. Auto”) to quickly find their assets for meetings and reporting.
• Track Service Tiers: Use labels to segment clients by service level (e.g., “Gold,” “Silver”) or service type (“Local SEO,” “GBP Management”).
• Manage Client Status: Use internal-only labels like “Prospect,” “Onboarding,” or “High Churn Risk” to track the client lifecycle. Labels are not visible on client-facing reports.

Tips for Multi-Location Businesses

• Segment by Region: Apply labels based on geography (e.g., “West Coast,” “Northeast Region”) to compare performance across different territories.
• Categorize by Location Type: Use labels to distinguish between location types, such as “Franchise” or “Corporate-Owned.”
• Prioritize Efforts: Create labels like “High-Priority” or “Underperforming” to focus your attention where it’s needed most.
