Introduction
Have you discovered a listing on eDirectory that belongs to your business but hasn't been claimed yet? Taking ownership of your listing is a simple and crucial step that grants you complete control over its content and allows you to make real-time updates, ensuring accuracy and maximizing its impact. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the straightforward process of claiming your existing listing and managing it effectively as a sponsor. Let's get started and unlock the full potential of your presence on eDirectory!
Understanding Listing Claims:
Within the vast landscape of eDirectory, unclaimed listings can sometimes exist. These are listings that have been created but haven't yet been associated with their rightful owners. By claiming your listing, you establish yourself as the sponsor, gaining the authority to edit, enhance, and maintain the information presented to the directory's users. This ensures your listing accurately reflects your business and attracts the right audience.
Step 1: Locate and Access Your Listing Page:
The first step in this process is to find your specific listing within the eDirectory site. Use the site's search functionality or browse through the relevant categories until you locate the listing you wish to claim. Click on the listing to access its individual page.
Step 2: Initiate the Claim: "Is this your listing? Claim it here":
Once you are on your listing's page, carefully look for a clear call-to-action, typically phrased as "Is this your listing? Claim it here." Click on this link or button to begin the listing claim process.
Step 3: Claiming Process:
In order to initiate your claim, it is necessary to register as a user on the eDirectory platform. First, let's ensure that you are securely logged in or have signed up with us. This procedure is designed to guarantee that only authorized individuals can claim business listings
Step 4: Select Your Subscription:
After successfully registering, you will be guided to choose a subscription plan that aligns with your business needs and the level of features you require. Carefully review the available plans and select the one that best suits you.
Step 5: Proceed to Payment:
Upon choosing your subscription and template, you will be redirected to the payment check out page. Here, you will need to provide your billing details for the chosen subscription plan. Select your preferred payment method and proceed with the payment process by clicking "Confirm payment".
Step 6: Submit Your Updated Listing:
Once you have meticulously reviewed and updated all the necessary information in the listing form, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Next" button to submit your changes.
Note: When you initially claim a listing, you will gain immediate access to the listing form to update most of your business details. However, please note that certain media elements, such as images and videos, might not be editable during this initial claiming phase. These advanced features will become available to you immediately after the site manager reviews and approves your listing claim, as indicated by a notification you will receive.
Step 7: Confirmation and Pending Approval:
Upon successful completion of your payment, you will be able to see your newly claimed listing within your sponsor dashboard. Initially, the listing status may display as "Pending." This indicates that the site manager needs to review and approve your claim before your listing becomes publicly visible on the eDirectory site. Once approved, the status will change to "Active," and your listing will be live for all users to see.
