🏠 How Does a Place Collect User Moments?

On Currently, every place — like a café, gym, restaurant, or event venue — has its own social footprint built through real user activity.

When people check in and post a moment at that place, their content becomes part of that location’s permanent story.


📍 What Is a Place Profile?

A Place Profile is an auto-generated page on Currently for any public location. It shows:

  • The name and type of the place

  • A list of user-generated moments tagged there

  • A footfall count (how many users have visited and posted)

  • A visual timeline of who did what, where, and when


🔁 How Are Moments Collected?

Whenever a user:

  1. Posts a moment

  2. Uses the Check-In feature

  3. Tags a specific place from the location list

👉 That moment gets automatically attached to the place’s profile.


📦 What Content Shows Up?

Only moments that are:

  • Tagged with the place

  • Public or set to Followers Only (if you follow that user)

  • Not deleted or expired by the user

These moments appear on the place’s profile as a live feed of activity — building its credibility and discoverability.


🌱 Why Does It Matter?

  • Every check-in = permanent footfall

  • Moments become word-of-mouth content for that place

  • Helps others see what’s happening at a location before they visit

  • Great for local businesses, events, and communities looking to grow visibility

Think of it like Instagram for locations — except real, live, and user-powered.


📊 How Do Businesses Benefit?

  • Authentic social proof through real people’s content

  • Increased visibility on the Map and Search

  • Higher chances of attracting new visitors

  • Ability to claim the place and access advanced insights (feature coming soon)
