  • • How can I make my listing stand out?

    If you want your listing to stand out from other companies in the Directory, we recommend that you choose a Priority Listing. By enhancing your listing, you can give prospective buyers additional information about your company and your offerings and make your listing "pop to the top" when it is displayed in the search results.

    Yes, you may have multiple Priority Listings. This can be especially effective if your products/services fall within more than one category, e.g., math and science, and you want to be sure your listing is prominently displayed in each category.
