Adding or Updating Your Searchable Counties

The county listing is part of the home inspector search engine provided by HomeGauge. When a customer or real estate professional searches for inspectors within a certain county from a state, all inspectors signed up for coverage in that specific county are listed. By default, each inspector is set to cover the county associated with the zip code listed in their contact information. There is no limit to the number of counties you may list as having coverage, but each county must be added or removed using this tool. The counties are organized by state and are selected by checkboxes in the next step.

1. Click Profile > Update Searchable Counties
   
2. Choose a state from the drop-down menu and click Add County Coverage.
   
3. Check the boxes of the counties you'd like to add.
   
4. Click Finish.

To edit an existing state's county list:

1. Next to the State listed, click Update Coverage For...
2. To remove all coverage for that state, click Remove All Coverage For...
