When someone claims ownership of a listing, they are confirming they own the business the listing relates to. Claiming ownership enables the business owner both to amend/expand the text and image content of the original listing, and to create additional listings for the business. Once the claim is authorised, the claimant can subscribe to any one of three low-cost packages permitting editing and creation of listings. You cannot edit or create listings if you do not subscribe to one of these packages.
1. Claim ownership
To claim a listing, simply click the ‘Claim Ownership’ button located near the top of the page (beneath the email address) for each listing you wish to claim. This will take you to a simple form that asks you to create a user name and provide an e-mail address associated with your business. Complete the captcha and submit the form.
2. Login to the Directory
You will receive email notification from us verifying your claim and providing your personal Username and Login. You can now login to the Directory site, either by using the ‘Click Login’ link or by copying and pasting the full login URL — both found in the last line of the email.
3. View listing preview on your subscriber page
Logging in will take you to your personal Subcriber Page. Beneath the profile image box you will see a series of tabs, and a preview of the listing you have claimed will display when you click the category tab — ‘Events’ or ‘Latex Clothing’ — to which your listing belongs.
4. Select your preferred payment plan
Clicking the ‘Renew’ button will take you to the Payment Plan page where three packages offer different levels of user-creatable content. Select the Plus package (£4/month) to maintain the listing at its existing content level. Or choose the Pro (£6/month) or Premium (£8/month) package for greatly enhanced content options.
5. Update existing listings or add new ones
Once you have subscribed to a package, you can update a single listing as many times as you like, and add completely new listings up to the limit of your chosen package. Plus offers 15 listings, Pro 20 and Premium 100. You can upgrade your listings package at any time.
6. Unclaimed listings
The free listings with which the Directory launched have the same features as the paid-for Plus package. These listings will remain free during the launch period to give businesses time to claim them and switch to one of the subscriber packages. At the end of this grace period, unclaimed listings may either be deleted by us or, at our discretion, retained in a more basic form. Basic listings retained on the site can still be claimed, updated, upgraded and expanded by you if you subsequently subscribe to a listings package.
