Would a customer even know or ever heard of ProDub?
Venues have only ever asked for PLI and PAT so would ProDub just be a point scoring exercise?

I'd be up for incorporating Google Reviews. Google provides an API which will return the 5 "most helpful" reviews from a given
Placeid - this Placeid would have to be entered by the DJ in their listing admin.
And just to show I'm not a Technocrat either, Marc, I have absolutely no idea how what you've suggested has any bearing on my business. I don't think I'[ve got a google review.
I've got solid 5* reviews from Add To Event, and all I have to do with them is one click and I can share them on Facebook. That I can do.

I think far more people use Whatsapp than ever used Skype. I think I'll swap them out, as I said less than 1% of listings have a Skype address entered. The WhatsApp link will rely on a valid WhatsApp enabled mobile phone number entered, in international format, i.e. 447771234567.

It looks like you've claimed your listing in Google My Business. In the settings in there, you'll get a short URL, and a link to give customers to make it easier for them to give you a review on Google. Google are really pushing this, and adding more features - for example, if you install the Google My Business app on your phone, and enable the option, you can be messaged by customers directly from your GMB listing (info here).
You should always answer any Google reviews, even if it's just a "thanks", and always answer any questions that come in via GMB, as Google have said "engagement" could be a factor now or in future...

I've done a lot of things I don't understand. What a confusing place this modern world is for an old bloke.
Hmm, looks like I'd better start paying attention to yet another blasted social media outlet. Grr.

If it helps, using this tool, your Google My Business placeid seems to be ChIJo6vw9PHeeEgR4V3-Mok7cJU

Re the addition of filterable services, because this is an addition rather than a feature that's been there from the start, it's best if I add a service that all existing listings will be included in by default.
So, this would be "Mobile Disco" (given that it's the Mobile Disco Directory, that should be the bare minimum service offered!).
Meaning the full list I currently have is: -
- PAT
- PLI
- ProDub
- Mobile Disco (ticked in all listings by default, unable to deselect)
- Karaoke
- Silent Disco
- Wedding Disco
- Master of Ceremonies
- Kids Disco
- School Prom
- Corporate Functions
- Quiz Nights
- Dancefloors
- Uplighting / Mood Lighting
- Dry Hire
- PA Hire
- Walk-Ins
- Residencies
- Photo Booth
- Sweet Cart
- LOVE Letters
Comments on additions / removals welcome!
