Definitely in the “the city in the title is not ideal” camp.

putting “currently in French Lick” inside the first comment will cause the thread to come up when searching for “French Lick” the same as in the title. Too many provs travel too often for it to be value add.

Also in “the city in the title is not ideal” camp.

But I also think a more helpful note inside the first comment would be “currently in French Lick, but based in Loogootee, although often visits family in St. Meinrad, and is planning to spend an extended spring break in Cumback."

Really? Perhaps you can explain why RM ads put “Location” at the top, if it’s not a value add.

Simple - RM location has a completely different purpose / value proposition - point in time reference to hire now.

RM location is at the top because its purpose is forward looking. It shows where the provider is TODAY and where the provider’s home base is set TODAY and where the provider plans to be TOMORROW (i.e., always current status). Surely you’ve noticed the huge portion of providers that simply change their location completely vs using the travel dates function also. I want to hire. Who is/will be where I want to hire?

CoM on the other hand is providing reviews for a provider period unrelated to where they slept last.  Locations for reviews are always based on where they were YESTERDAY (i.e., backward looking). I want to hire HotTwinkDaddySlaveMasterBear. Is he any good? Oh yeah… maybe he was in French Lick 2 yrs ago when he was first reviewed; so what.

Ask yourself:  does the review of services change somehow if this traveler was based in Schenectady last year but is now based in French Lick? I mean, why would we make the OP responsible for keeping the title up-to-date? That’s a lot of overhead.
