Bulk edit lets you update hours, images, profile details and more across many locations at once, instead of editing each location one by one. You can apply changes right away or schedule them for a future date and time.
Admins and Managers can use bulk edit.
Make a bulk edit
From your account or a group, go to Listings > Overview and scroll down to the list of locations.
Check the box next to each location you want to update. To select every location, check the box in the Location column header.
Click Bulk Edit.
Open the tab you need (Profile, Categories & Attributes, Hours, Images or Custom Fields) and make your changes. An Edit label appears next to every field you change.
Click Save. A summary page shows every change.
Uncheck anything you don't want to apply, then click Confirm. Your updates are sent to your listings on Google, Facebook and your other directories.
What you can edit
Tab | What you can update |
Profile | Listing name, location status, opening date, time zone, descriptions, keywords, phone, fax, email, website, social profile links, payment types, price range, languages, brands offered |
Categories & Attributes | Primary and additional categories, services, attributes (such as order-ahead links and messaging numbers) |
Hours | Business hours, special hours, service hours |
Images | Logo, cover photo and photos, for all directories at once or for Google or Facebook only |
Custom Fields | Varies by account |
Fields that can't be changed in bulk show the message This field is not editable for multiple locations. Edit those from each location instead.
Schedule an update for later
Know a change is coming, like holiday hours or a new menu photo? Schedule it ahead of time so it goes live without anyone logging in after hours. You can schedule changes to Profile, Categories & Attributes, Hours and Images.
Select your locations and click Bulk Edit, as above.
In the Select or Add a Scheduled Update menu, choose + Add Scheduled Update.
Pick the date, time and time zone, then click Save.
Make your changes, click Save, review the summary and click Confirm.
To review, reschedule or cancel a scheduled update: filter the location list by date using the All Scheduled Updates menu. Select those locations, click Bulk Edit and choose the date from the Scheduled Updates menu. Then click the calendar icon to pick a new date, or the trash icon to cancel.
Don't see the scheduling option? Ask your Tattle Customer Success Manager to turn it on.
Good to know
Bulk edits overwrite. Whatever you enter replaces the current value at every selected location. If the locations currently have different hours, you'll see Varying hours across the selected locations as a reminder.
Services need matching categories. You can bulk edit services only when all selected locations share the same primary category. Available attributes also depend on the primary category.
Existing images don't show in the bulk editor. To see what's already live, open the location's own listing.
Images under All Directories go to both Google and Facebook. To update just one, use that network's section further down the Images tab.
Watch for Facebook duplicates. If your brand uses a Facebook parent page with location pages under it, updates may post to both and show up twice.
