Keep seeing us mention ‘market check-in’ and want to know what it is all about?
Well, we are more than happy to share because it’s Pedddle’s USP! It’s what makes Pedddle a really unique online directory…
What is a market check-in?
As you know, Pedddle is a directory of markets and stallholders. Businesses listed on Pedddle include markets with a ‘market page’, or our stallholders have a ‘stall page’. These are individual business listings (pages) on our website, Pedddle.com. They tell customers about various events or businesses, with links to the owner’s social media, contact details and other websites. Stallholders can also link to the products listed in their online stores or marketplaces, such as Folksy.
When a stallholder checks in to a market listed on Pedddle, their business name appears on that market page.
The process of market check-in only takes a few seconds to do – we’ll show you how below.
We know, it’s such a fab feature! We want to make sure our stallholders are super visible to all. Keep on reading to see exactly how this benefits everyone…
If you check-in to a Pedddle market, you’ll show up higher in searches and customers can find you on our markets pages for up to 6 months after the event takes place! A great way for market visitors to find and re-connect with your business.
For market organisers, market check-in is also a great benefit to them, because when a stallholder checks-in to the market, the market page shows up on the stallholders’ page in return. This two-way link is ideal for SEO. This method helps the market be more visible online, with a broader digital footprint. Check out this image on the right – so many upcoming markets listed!
Cross-promotion is a wonderful tool and one we utilise a lot here at Pedddle. We want to help the entire market eco-system work cohesively together.
FYI – You should only check-in to a market if you are trading at that market, as agreed by the market organisers. The market check-in function on Pedddle does not replace a booking system and is only a way for market stallholders to show potential customers where they will physically be selling at.

SEO & more…
Here’s some nitty gritty stuff that shows how you are really helping your business by checking in on Pedddle.
When a customer searches on Google (or another search engine) for a business, because they checked-in at a market with us, they will be listed on multiple pages on Pedddle, therefore have a broad digital footprint and therefore are building better SEO (Search Engine Optimisation). Ultimately, the broader your digital footprint can be, the more likely your business is to show up higher in search engine results. So, it’s well worth checking-in to all of the markets that you’re selling at!
Pedddle exists to help the entire market community grow, and this is just one way we’re doing it. We offer a range of subscriptions for both market organisers and stallholders delving into other elements of running a business, too.
