  • • How can I make my listing stand out?

    If you want your listing to stand out from other companies in the Directory, we recommend that you choose an Enhanced Listing. By enhancing your listing, you can give prospective buyers additional information about your company and your offerings and make your listing "pop to the top" when it is displayed in the search results. In addition, you will receive sales leads.

  • • Can I have more than one Enhanced Listing?

    Yes, you may have multiple Enhanced Listings. This can be especially effective if your products/services fall within more than one category, e.g., math and science, and you want to be sure your listing is prominently displayed in each category.

  • • What is an Administrative Contact?

    You will probably set yourself up as the Administrative Contact. This means that you will be the person whom we contact when we approve your listing. You will use the username and password to log in and add, edit, and delete listings. The Administrative Contact is separate from the person you name as the Marketing/Sales Contact. The name of the Marketing/Sales Contact is shown as part of your listing, and this is the person who will receive leads if you purchase an Enhanced Listing.
