Make Sure You Create An Account AND LISTING In The Directory


We've had a great response and a lot of people are adding their businesses to our directory: http://www.contractortalk.com/contractors/

Thanks


Just a quick instructional/reminder. So far I've had 12 people create an account and start the process but they don't create a listing. The first screen you are just adding your account/billing info (even though it's free). You then have to press the green button at the bottom of the page and progress into adding your listing. This is where you can add all the details about your company.

Without completing this step it's just a blank listing and we can't approve it. Take a moment and check to see if your listing is live by doing a quick search. If not log into your account and update the listing here: http://www.contractortalk.com/contractors/

Thanks!


Oh, and make sure you pick "SHOWCASE LISTING" since you get the most options with that and it's free. Thanks

I'm sure there are a ton of things I've missed. Please just let me know and I'll add the category.

I've added masonry... thanks


As far as concrete countertops go... we have a countertops topic here: http://www.contractortalk.com/contra...ls/Countertops


Thanks again!

Can you add wallcoverings? And will we be able to have listings in 2 categories, such as painting and wallcoverings?

So, do you just want me to change the name from wallpaper to wallcoverings?

Also, yes... you can list yourself in several categories.

Re: Make Sure You Create An Account AND LISTING In The Directory


Nathan,

The new site looks GREAT!!!!!!

One question though, and I don't know if anyone else found this, but under my catagory listing on the More Info>> page, the sub-catagories do not match up with the main catagory heading (ie flooring subcatagories are listed under three seperate main catagories) here is a screenshot:



Is it because of the way (possibly the order of selection) they were originally selected by me, or a query problem? Just curious.
