    • Each customer account has a unique routing ID.

      For customers who are visible in the directory, you can see their routing ID listed under their service locations.

      Customers who do not want to be generally visible in the directory can provide their routing ID to another party. That party can then use the routing ID to search for and find them in the marketplace.

      You can find your company’s routing ID under Admin > Company Profile. For more information, see Customize Your Marketplace Profile.
