All of your previous social media efforts can but put to work for you by importing your Facebook Pages, Twitter, Youtube, Vimeo and much more right into your hub pages. You will in turn gain many more followers and be able to engage and communicate with your followers all from one single place.


Import / Embed Your Store

Do you currently have a store online? Would you like to have your entire store available inside the Marketplace where thousands of land surveyors can find it? When we set up your Marketplace Hub for you, be sure to share the link to your store with us and we'll integrate it for you!


Communicate With Your Customers and Followers

The ability to not only attract followers but to communicate directly with them through the messaging feature is quite powerful. Send updates about product announcements, create polls and gather feedback. The possibilities are endless!


Create rich content in the website builder’s drag’n’drop interface.

Think of a Marketplace Hub as a Mini-community inside the Land Surveyors United Community where your followers recieve your updates and announcements, can engage with your content, purchase your products and services and communicate directly with you.


You do not need a Webmaster degree to manage and update your Marketplace Hub. You will have your own backend where you can easily add pages, drag and drop modules and import your existing social media to gain followers and customers. We will set it all up for you and customize it to your needs. We even have videos for how to do just about anything you can imagine doing with your hub.

Do you currently have a Youtube or Vimeo Channel? Do you plan to start one? Marketplace Hubs have the ability to import your entire channel inside your hub for easy access and to maximize your subscribers. Generate self-updating content feeds (RSS feeds) with recently added YouTube videos using a list of keywords or channel IDs.


Does your company have a Facebook Business Page? Would you like to increase your followers and engagement? Your Marketplace Hub allows the import of your Facebook page feed so when you update your page, you are updating your hub!

It is called RSSGround and it blows the doors off of most of its competition simply by being far more robust and supported. Best of all, it is free to try!
