In the **'Add title'** field, enter the name of your package.

Navigate to the **'Address'** tab, and enter the location name and the civic address. After entering these fields, click **'Get Latitude/ Longitude'** to automatically populate the latitude and longitude coordinates.

Go to the '**Description'** tab and add a description for your package. This is your chance to share what guests can expect and highlight the experiences they’ll enjoy during their visit.

Navigate to the **'Video/Images'** tab, and click **'Add to Gallery'** to add images to your package.

Select images from your gallery, or upload new images from your computer. Images that work best are 2000x1500 pixels and less than 1MB. Once the desired images are selected, click **'Select'** to add photos to your package listing.

Click **'Set Featured Image'** on the right-hand side to add your Featured Image. This will be the image that appears on your package card.

Click on the **‘Rates’** tab and enter the rate information for your package. The price can be listed as a single amount or a range. You can also include a price qualifier, such as ‘starting at,’ ‘per person,’ or ‘per couple’.

In the **'Additional Details'** field, enter any conditions for your package, such as cancellation policy, age or mobility considerations, and booking details.

Click the **'Dates'** tab and select the Start Date and End Date for your package.

Navigate to **'Business Info'** tab.

Under the **‘Business’** dropdown, select your business, then choose the associated listing page(s) where you would like your package to appear.

Editing/Revising an Existing Package
