FOR FUTURE LISTERS
* EXAMPLES QD suggests you look at some examples before you start. Just search using the word example.
* DATABASE CHOICE When you are a producer and you also retail, then you can list in Producers and split the products involved accordingly into the appropriate ‘Description’ box (produced items) and the && box. Alternatively, you can do this and also list in Retailers and put the items produced in the && box with an appropriate note.
* GREEN TABS You click a red tab from the Home page to start a new listing and one featuring your business on a listing page to start an adoption.
* A LISTING’S CONTENT This is subject to approval. What you see in non-adopted sites is provisional. You list under a sub-category and not directly under a category. Visitors clicking on a category get to see all the sub-category listings within its scope.
The ‘Description’ area content serves as –
(i) A brief introduction to what is on offer using generic terms and allowing a visitor to know this in a few seconds and
(ii) A place to list and qualify the items and services in more detail to be picked up by the search engine and visitors.
Entries in that area can only include products and services which qualify, which usually means products produced in the UK or services provided by a UK-owned supplier. Sometimes it is impractical to list everything, and so more generic words are needed or more than one listing. The opportunity for proper description is in the following text boxes: &&, and &&&.
Elsewhere, there are opportunities to give more useful information.
Some contact medium is required, as is the ultimate owner’s legal name and any relevant lower tiers of the relevant hierarchy.
Visitors’ time must not be wasted The user must have a welcoming, useful and time-efficient experience.
