Before Uploading
1) First, ensure that your account’s profile limit can accommodate the number of locations that you are trying to upload. Failure to do so will result in a failed upload.
2) Next, create a CSV or XLSX by following the instructions here.
3) If you haven’t already: in the dashboard, click Add a Business and create a new profile with your desired business/company name. With the new profile active, click Dashboard > Funnel > Links > Review Profile > Add Profiles. This will convert the profile to a multi-profile funnel.
