What are "Light Profiles"?
Light profiles are location profiles that have only been filled with a few publicly accessible data. On the one hand, they should make it easier for the location operator to create the profile, and on the other hand, they should show potential customers that there are also possibilities outside of the locations listed on our platform (and thus generate sales for you).
