Setting Up Your Mining Zone: A Business Guide
Step-by-step guide for configuring your business's geofence on GeoMine.
Your mining zone (geofence) determines where customers can earn coins at your business. Here's how to set it up for maximum impact.
What Is a Geofence?
A geofence is a virtual circular boundary centered on your business. When a GeoMine user enters this circle, they can start a mining session. The radius depends on your subscription tier.
Tier-Based Radius
| Tier | Max Radius | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 50m | Small shops, boutiques |
| Silver | 100m | Restaurants, cafés, medium retail |
| Gold | 200m | Large stores, malls, entertainment venues |
Setting Up in the Business Portal
- Log into the Business Portal at portal.geomine.app
- Go to the "Geofence" section
- The map auto-centers on your registered business address
- Adjust the radius slider to your preferred size
- Click "Save Geofence"
Best Practices
Don't make it too small: If your geofence is too tight (under 30m), GPS accuracy issues may prevent customers from starting sessions, especially inside buildings.
Don't make it too large: A geofence that covers neighboring businesses can create confusion. Keep it roughly aligned with your property.
Consider your building: GPS signals are weaker indoors. A slightly larger radius helps ensure customers inside your shop are still within the zone.
Testing
After setting your geofence, test it yourself:
- Download the GeoMine app on your phone
- Stand at various points in and around your business
- Check if the "Start Mining" button appears
- Adjust the radius if needed
