How To: Claim Your Business on Planet Mold

Thursday, December 18, 2008 by Paul-Sterling

Are you a Mold or IAQ professional?  Does everyone who needs your services find you easily?  For most of us, broadening our exposure, especially on the internet, is something we need to do.  We can always buy advertising or spend more time and money on our web sites, but the results are mixed and success is expensive.  Planet Mold offers free (yes, free!) listings that are optimized for web searches.  A Planet Mold listing is not your typical directory (yellow pages, Yahoo!, etc…) listing.  We use the latest web-standards (xhtml and micro-formats) and tailor your listing to be relevant in the geographic areas you serve.  In addition to the free listings, Planet Mold offers a very low-cost Featured Listing ($2.99 per month) that gives your listing priority placement, a highlighted color, and a unique web page where you can display additional information and content, and link to your own web site.

Check out a sample Featured Listing here, or a Standard Listing here.

Now you’re ready to get a listing on Planet Mold, here’s how:

1. Find your listing
2. Click the ‘Claim Your Listing’ link near the bottom of your listing
3. If you don’t have a listing, you can create a new listing here
4. You’ll need to show us some ID – we use Live ID so we don’t need to store your user name or password (we're really serious about privacy)
5. Give us as much detail as you can about you and your company
6. Select the Featured Listing if you want your listing to stand out
7. Click Create or Update
8. If you selected a Featured Listing you’ll see a payment page, and then go to PayPal to complete the payment
9. If you didn’t select a Featured Listing (why not?) you’ll see your profile page
10. Repeat as needed in order to claim all your listings or create new ones

Hint:  there’s no limit on the number of listings you can have so you can create a listing for each Metro Area, City, and Zip area that you serve.

As the number of visitors to Planet Mold increases so will your visibility and your business.

Thanks!
