Tips For Providers on FastTrackerMN:

Did you know that your location descriptions play a crucial role in helping individuals find the right services? Our search functionality doesn’t stop at keywords—it extends to your location descriptions too! When crafting these descriptions, consider adding essential information that might not be covered by specific services or keywords.

For instance, include details about your facility’s amenities, accessibility features, if transportation is provided or any unique aspects of your location that individuals might find valuable. This extra layer of information can make a significant impact on someone’s decision-making process. Ensure your descriptions are informative, welcoming, and highlight the distinctive qualities that set your services apart. Let’s work together to create a seamless experience for those seeking support on FastTrackerMN. Your attention to detail can make a world of difference!

Important Information to Ensure Visibility In Searches

We at FastTrackerMN.org have been auditing locations and organizations already listed on our database search site and have noticed that several are not visible in searches due to missing information. Please check each of your organizations and locations to make sure you are not missing vital information so searchers can find you!

If you manage an organization or location, PLEASE READ!

KEY THINGS TO CHECK ON YOUR PROFILE:

  • Do you have locations listed?
    • Your organization is not what shows up in searches. Even if your organization information is the same, you need to create at least one location. Add a location for every location where you provide services. If your locations have the same name, add the city to clarify.
  • Are your locations complete?
    • Please make sure you select if your location is MH or SUD
      • If you are an SUD facility or provider, you MUST add a correct license number for that location:
      • Facilities can find license numbers HERE
      • MHCP providers make sure you are listed HERE
      • Tribal programs must include the name of the Tribe.
    • Add all insurances THAT EACH LOCATION accepts.
    • Add all key words associated with that location.
    • MOST IMPORTANT: enter all services provided at that specific location with their availability.
    • Do not list SUD services if that location is not primarily licensed as a SUD program. If your MH clinic locations offers SUD services, please create a duplicate location, including license for SUD searchers.
