Services
A service in KynectLocal is a named offering you attach to a location — for example, “Oil Change” at the Norterra location. Each service automatically generates a dedicated SEO page and can drive navigation visibility rules across your network.
When you’d use this
Section titled “When you’d use this”- Understanding how the Services data model connects to pages, navigation, and location profiles
- Deciding what to add as a service vs. as a regular page
- Troubleshooting why a nav item isn’t appearing at a location
What a service record contains
Section titled “What a service record contains”| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Service name | The display name. Also used to generate the URL slug. |
| Description | Optional short text that populates the service page via a content token. |
| URL slug | Auto-generated from the service name (e.g. “Oil Change” → /oil-change). Read-only. |
| Enabled / Disabled | Controls whether the service page is live. |
Services are scoped to a single location. The same service name at two different locations produces two independent service records, each with its own page and toggle.
How services connect to other features
Section titled “How services connect to other features”Service Pages — Each enabled service generates a dedicated URL (/locations/{slug}/{service-slug}) rendered using the shared Service Pages template. Disabling the service takes the page offline without deleting the record. See Service Pages for the full admin workflow.
Navigation visibility — The “Location has services” visibility condition on nav items checks whether a location has at least one service. Use this to show a Services nav item only on locations where it is relevant. See Navigation.
Location profile — The Services section of the location profile editor mirrors the service list. Changes made there sync with the Services admin. See Locations.
Services vs. pages
Section titled “Services vs. pages”Use a service when the offering should:
- Have a URL derived from the service name
- Be enabled or disabled independently per location
- Be controlled by the shared Service Pages template
Use a regular page (via Pages & Content) when you need custom layout, manual slug control, or content that doesn’t follow the service template pattern.
