How to add your FREE business listing?

Prepare your contents

We recommend you to prepare the following contents before starting:

1. Textual content, introduction of your company, including who you are, what you do, service areas, why choose your company (no need to put contact information in description), and price information (if you know that your pricing is very competitive in your industry). Ideal length of your description is between 800-2000 words.
   We suggest you to place bilingual description if your targeted market is not limited to one spoken language. Our built-in automated AI translation engine take English as source language. Any other language used in input fields will stay as it is if user choose English version. Your input, either English or non English, will be translated to other available languages automatically over a time span. *** English input can be translated to any language, non English input can only be translated to languages other than English *** Thus, if you input in English, single language will do.
   (hint: You can artificially speed up your listing translation by changing language using language switcher on top right corner. Any contents being browsed in non English will be translated immediately. Click refresh to see translated version)
2. Graphical content, including photos or video (video is available for paid/featured listing only) of your products and services, stand out the key concern of your market, eg quality, finishing, design etc. This is a very effective selling tool to capture this ready market
3. Contact information, including phone, website URL, social media links, and instant messaging accounts. The more contact information and access channels you have, the better for your potential market to get contact with you
4. Keywords for Search Engine Optimization (SEO), this is crucial to get your listing rank higher in major search engines.
