Top: Regional: North_America: United_States: Maryland: Metro_Areas_and_Regions: Western_Maryland: Business_and_Economy

Topics for this category include companies, business organizations, and industries based
in or related to this locality. Also included are related sites, such as professional or trade organizations, business directories, and industry profiles, as long as they are directed exclusively to the business and economic activities of the category's geographic area.

PLEASE NOTE: Some business sites should be submitted to Travel and Tourism,
Arts and Entertainment, Recreation and Sports,
or to a Business and Economy subcategory if present. Compare existing listings for best results.

Most sites should be submitted to a locality. However, listing at higher levels
is allowed for companies with multiple locations spanning several localities.

Tips for Faster Acceptance:

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

Thank you for your cooperation.

Real Estate

Topics for this category include appraisers, inspectors, property managers, real estate agents, rental properties, planned communities, real estate developments, and title services.

Submit the site only once. Submit only to the locality where the office is physically located unless a broker has multiple locations. In that case submit to the deepest category that will encompass all locations, such as County or Region. NOTE: Sites for real estate licensees and brokerages are governed by state real estate commission regulations concerned with advertising. Agents must be identified by name and the brokerage must be identified by
the office name shown on its license.

Format Site Title As Follows:

For An Agent Site: Agent Name - Company Name
For A Company Site: Company Name

Any of the following will delay the review process:

  • Advertising hype
  • Excessive use of caps
  • Keyword stuffing
  • Lack of verifiable address

NOTE: Multiple submissions and other repeated attempts to circumvent the guidelines
may lead to the banning of your site at the discretion of Dmoz Staff.
