How to advertise your business location in real time

Food truck? Popup? One tap of Go Live and every follower's app knows exactly where you are right now — with directions to get there.

The pain: your business moves — a taco truck working different corners, a popup at this weekend's market — but your customers' picture of you doesn't move with it. The people who'd love to find you today simply don't know where you are, and posting your location to social feeds reaches whoever happens to scroll past, hours late.

The Blinko way: Go Live. When you set up at a new spot, tell every follower at once — not with a post they might miss, but by updating your business's location in their app itself.

  • check
    Go to the Business tab in Blinko Local
  • check
    Tap the "Go Live" button
  • check
    Add a custom message if you like ("Parked at 5th & Main until 8pm — birria today!")
  • check
    Push Go Live

Immediately, your business information is updated in all your customers' apps. Anyone who wants what you're serving can pull up directions straight to where you're parked — your followers always know where "here" is.

This is the same live-location control described in your Business tab (see "Blinko Local app: the Business tab") — and it pairs naturally with the mobile-business QR habit: the code on the side of the truck captures new followers at every location, and Go Live is how you bring them all back to the next one (see "QR code display best practices").

Make Go Live the first tap of every setup: park, Go Live with today's message, open the window. Your regulars find you; your check-ins and campaigns follow you wherever you trade.
