Introduction
Chime supports creating a landing page to feature each area in your market to attract more leads using auto-populated local information. Different featured area pages have the same style with content related to that area. Creating them one by one could be a lot of work, so the CMS Tool also supports creating a group of featured area pages at a time.
Notice: The Starter package does not come with this feature. If you are on a Starter package and interested in using this feature to its full effect, please contact Support for upgrade options.

Featured Area Levels
Unlike cities, counties, and zip codes, there is often no governmental authority that dictates the boundaries of what is termed a "neighborhood." Neighborhood boundaries are oftentimes determined by the residents of the neighborhoods. Some people think of a neighborhood as being a specific subdivision or housing development. Others consider a neighborhood to consist of a larger area, made up of multiple subdivisions, or a particular section of a suburb, village, or enclave. Others consider their neighborhood to be comprised of a larger district, perhaps spanning multiple cities or zip codes.
Another issue arises from the fact that neighborhoods can overlap. Consider the Alphabet City neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City, NY. This neighborhood is part of the East Village neighborhood which, in turn, is part of Lower Manhattan. This means that a residence on parts of East 14th Street, New York, NY may be located in three different neighborhoods.
Chime's data comes from Home Junction (Attom Data). The API supports four different levels of neighborhoods. Generally, the neighborhood level is based on the size of the neighborhood, but other factors can contribute to its categorization:
| Level | Description |
| 1 | A district, region, master-planned community, or major section of a metropolitan area. For example, Midtown Manhattan, Central Los Angeles, or Summerlin, NV. |
| 2 | The most common definition of a neighborhood, typically represents a colloquial grouping of streets. For example, Greenwich Village, New York, NY or North Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA. |
| 3 | A sub- or secondary neighborhood, typically representing a section or enclave within a level 2 neighborhood. For example, Alamo Square, San Francisco, CA, or Chester Square, Boston, MA |
| 4 | A micro-neighborhood represents a specific condo, apartment building, or residential housing tract within a level 3 neighborhood. For example Corinthian Pointe, Houston TX, or The Austonian, Austin, TX. |
