What content is required in my listing?
All submissions will be reviewed by a human.
A Brief Description of 30-250 characters, a Business Profile of 300-1000 characters and key search words for your industry. A photo (up to 400x400 jpg or gif) is optional but recommended. Choose an email address that won’t need to be changed when personnel change.
The key requirement here is that your description and business profile must be Original. IE not copied word for word from your web site or from any other site or other directories where you have listed the site.
Our listing effectively gives you a separate web page on our site pointing to your site, and If you don’t write original material there, then this page will be classified as duplicate material and be downgraded by the major search engines.

Ensure that your article reads well, not only with correct spelling and good grammar, but also ensure that it is an interesting article that would create respect from prospective clients and make them want to do business with your establishment.
