Register your business
Create your free business account in just a few steps. Download the NearMeNow app and select “For Businesses and Clubs” during registration.
The app will then guide you through the setup process:
Sign up: Register using your email address or one of the other available sign-up options.
Verify your email: Confirm your email address using the verification code sent to you.
Enter your business name: Add the name you want your business to be listed under on NearMeNow.
Add your logo: Upload your business logo or a suitable profile picture. You can also skip this step.
Set your location: Enter your business location.
Choose your categories: Select the categories that best describe your business.
🎉 You’re all set! Your business account is ready, and you can start completing your business profile.
After registering, you’ll be taken to your business area. Under “Account”, you can edit your business profile and manage your account settings.
Complete your profile with as much relevant business information as possible, such as your business description, address, contact details, and website.
ℹ️ Good to know: Much of this information is automatically carried over when you create an event. For example, you won’t need to enter your business address and contact details every time. If an event takes place at a different location or has a different contact person, you can adjust these details individually.
💡 Our tip: The more complete your business profile is, the easier it is for visitors to learn about your business and get in touch with you.
Step 1: Create Your First Event
From Setup to Published Event in Just a Few Steps
Once your business profile is set up, you’re ready to get started. Select “Create Event” in the app and follow the steps. NearMeNow will guide you through the process and ask for all the important details about your event.
Describe your event: Give your event a clear, engaging title and briefly describe what visitors can expect. Then select one to three categories that best fit your event.
Set the date and time: Choose the start and end dates and times. You can also specify whether your event is an all-day event or repeats regularly. This makes it easy to create weekly classes or recurring events.
Choose the event location: You can simply use the address from your business profile. If your event takes place somewhere else, you can enter a different event address.
Set the number of participants: Enter a maximum number of participants or select unlimited capacity. If your event requires a minimum number of participants to take place, you can specify that as well.
Specify entry and booking options: Choose whether your event is open to everyone or requires registration, a reservation, or a ticket. For events that require booking, you can indicate whether tickets are available on-site or online.
ℹ️ Important: Direct booking and payment through NearMeNow are not yet available. These features are planned for a future update. In the meantime, you can direct visitors to your existing booking and registration options.
Step 2: Add Optional Details to Your Event
Small Details That Make a Difference
In addition to the essential event information, you can add extra details to help visitors plan their experience.
📅 Schedule and Agenda: Does your event follow a specific schedule? You can add an agenda with individual activities or sessions. This is especially useful for workshops, conferences, festivals, or events with multiple activities.
♿ Useful Information for Visitors: Add helpful details that visitors might want to know before attending.
For example:
Accessibility
Parking options
Public transport connections
Dogs allowed
Family-friendly
Age restrictions
Food and drinks available on-site
Outdoor events
You can also add custom notes, such as items participants should bring with them.
📷 Event Image: A great image helps your event stand out. You can upload your own cover image to showcase your event.
Don’t have a suitable image? No problem! If you don’t upload one, NearMeNow will automatically use a default image that matches your event category.
📞 Custom Contact Details: Want to use different contact details for a specific event instead of those in your business profile? No problem! You can add event-specific contact information whenever needed.
Step 3: Publish Your Event
All Set? Time to Make Your Event Visible!
Once you’ve entered all the required information, you’re ready to publish your event.
You have two options:
🚀 Publish Now: Your event will be published immediately and become visible to NearMeNow users.
📅 Schedule Publication: Want to publish your event at a later date? Simply choose the date and time you’d like it to go live. Until then, you’ll find your event under “My Events → Scheduled”. It won’t be visible to users until the scheduled publication time.
