Tips for Faster Acceptance:

  1. Locations must be shown, either by address or local phone number of the sponsoring institution or company, or by indicating the place where the site's subject is found. Sites on large natural features may be more appropriate at a county, region, or metro level.
  2. For title, submit name of the sponsoring institution or company, site subject as it appears on main page, or both, separated by a dash.
  3. Make description factual, avoiding promotional language and unnecessary capitalization.
  4. Compare existing listings for best results.
