Text updates
Get told when your listings need attention, and approve changes by replying
Texting is optional. You can manage your listings from your dashboard without it, and nothing else about your account changes if you skip this.
LocalBasics will text this number about your business listings. Up to 3 messages per day. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel, HELP for help. See our Privacy Policy and Terms.
How opting in works
- A business owner signs in to their LocalBasics account and opens Settings, Text updates.
- They enter their own mobile number and tick the consent box. It is unticked by default and is never part of signing up or paying.
- We text a six-digit code to that number, and they enter it on the confirmation screen. Nothing is switched on until they do.
- We record the verified number, the time, the IP address, and the exact wording they agreed to.
