Creating a location job

This document outlines the steps needed to successfully create a location job through the Hub.


  1. Login to your Datashake dashboard using your credentials.

  2. Navigate to the "Hub" section from the menu.


  3. Click "+ Add Job" to initiate a new job once on the Hub.


  4. Choose your data source. Currently, only review data is available. Select "Reviews" and click "Continue."


  1. Click "Location" to search for location-based reviews and click "Continue." Reminder, a subscription to the Location Search API is needed when using this option.


  1. Set a name for your job and from which sites you want to collect the data. You can choose a specific review site, such as Google or Facebook, for example, or leave it to "All" to collect all possible profiles available.


  2. Specify how you want to find company locations by either using a specific address ("A defined list of locations") or a geographic search ("A geographical location"). Reminder, only one address can be added per job.
    1. Use "A defined list of locations" if you have a specific address. To do this:

      1. Click "A defined list of locations."


      2. Enter the company name, company's domain, and specific address, and click "Continue."

        Please keep in mind that credits will be consumed when searching for profiles, and broader searches will reduce the result accuracy. Try to make your search as specific as possible. In addition, only one location can be added per location job.


      3. A pop-up to remind you about the credit consumption will be displayed. Click "Go Back" to modify your search or "Continue" to proceed. Always make sure you have sufficient credits for Location Search API to prevent your job from failing.


      4. The system will begin searching for profiles based on your criteria. This can take anywhere from seconds to hours, depending on your search parameters and system traffic. Click "Back to Hub" to return to Hub's home page and refer to Step 8, for the succeeding steps.


    2. Use "A geographic location" to search by company details and region if you don't have an exact address. To do this:

      1. Click "A geographic location."


      2. Enter the company name and region in your search details and click "Continue."

        Please keep in mind that credits will be consumed when searching for profiles, and broader searches will reduce the result accuracy. Try to make your search as specific as possible


      3. A pop-up to remind you about the credit consumption will be displayed. Click "Go Back" to modify your search or "Continue" to proceed. Always make sure you have sufficient credits for the Location Search API to prevent your job from failing.


      4. The system will begin searching for profiles based on your criteria. This can take anywhere from seconds to hours, depending on your search parameters and system traffic. Click "Back to Hub" to return to Hub's home page and refer to Step 8 for the succeeding steps.


  3. The job status on the Hub's homepage will be updated to "Search refinement needed" once the profiles have been collected and your job is ready for profile search validation.


Note:

• The initial profile collection during job creation can take up to 24 hours.

• If you've set up recurring review collection, the new data will be automatically gathered and added to your integration at your chosen frequency.

Important Reminder:

Avoid submitting jobs for the same company in different geographical regions simultaneously, as this can cause errors in profile collection. Instead, submit one job at a time and wait for it to complete before starting the next job.


Please refer to Validating your Profile Search for the succeeding steps.
