For sites specifically geared towards this community. Submitting to the wrong category may significantly delay your site from being listed in the directory.

This category is for sites covering business and economic activities including companies and industries. Depending on the type of company, some sites should instead be submitted to Arts_and_Entertainment, Recreation_and_Sports, or Travel_and_Tourism, or to a Business_and_Economy sub-category when available. For best results, compare existing listings before submitting your site.

Tips for Faster Acceptance:

  1. Make sure your site title matches the name of your organization or entity.
  2. In your site description, stick to the facts and avoid hype or promotional language.
  3. This is a Regional category, so your location should be readily apparent on your site. Your service area should also be apparent when applicable.
  4. Avoid Excessive Capitalization.
  5. Describe site features as well as the subject of your site.

Thank you for your cooperation.
