You can’t see them atm (top next to the reports approval tab/section)

Lou · Sep 9, 2019

the directory listings that people are filling in with their business details

ShaunCorbs · Sep 9, 2019

Here harv in the pic

Dan · Sep 9, 2019

Hang on they've disappeared lol

Let me unapprove them again and you'll see them in the queue.

ShaunCorbs · Sep 9, 2019

@Harvest Fields theres one in the approval now can you see it ?

Dan · Sep 9, 2019

Here's a direct link: https://www.plumbersforums.net/approval-queue/

Any listings that aren't all pretty and full of images (and ones I haven't optimised) will do more harm than good for the forum and the owner of the listing, and other listings too.

So I need to tart them up, help the first 50 or so get ranking, and show others how it's done via them.

So it's my fault.

Lou is going to give them a go tomorrow, so she will edit them and then approve them.

For now, leave them unapproved for me.

ShaunCorbs · Sep 9, 2019

daves one looks fine what more could someone add or did you just pic one for harv to see ? Eg example

I still don’t have access. All I get is this.

Some good listings on TilersForums.com that we've worked with the owners of to create, they're already getting calls from them, if you search google for their main area (it's obvious in the listing when they've been done right what area that is) you will see they rank first or second page every time:-

There is an instructional thread here helping members rank, and we have a thread in the tilersforums arms where I'm replying to them as they're making changes so I can help optimise them.

As a result, we're not only giving back to regular members, we've got more traffic from search engines to our forums, and that means more members and threads and posts. Which is what I guess my job is lol

A listing with a phone number in A) wont get used on the forum and B) wont rank in Google and C) will do more harm than good

Is it worth putting mine on there? Does it cost anything?

Okay noted. I'll sort out the permissions tomorrow for you matey.

Harvest Fields · Sep 9, 2019

Much appreciated mate. Where do I put my business advert or details?

Hell no it's free lol

Once a category has a fair few listings in it (we did manage to have half a dozen in each on the old forum as Lou and I did them all manually and it took a year lol) we will even be able to feature listings so they scroll across the top of all listing categories regardless of the category you're viewing. But it would look stupid activating it with only 1 listing in 4 categories right now.

This new system uses the core forum software, so when we need to upgrade in a couple of years time and it changes the forum a bit, the core system will still exist. So we wont ever lose these again. Hence me wanting to get them right the first time around.

We've started on the sparky forum and we have some submissions in, but are yet to show them how it's done like we have on tilers.

Problem is, while I'm doing all their listings, I'm taken away from our own work, so I've wanted to introduce it a bit at a time kinda thing.

You need to scroll to a County. Only use one for now. Then click "Add Resource". Follow the instructions on TilersForums.com here: Tiler - How to rank your listing well and get calls coming from it

Do what you can, I'll do the rest for you once I have a mo'.

@Lou is doing a few more tomorrow while I'm on other things. So she can use yours as an example perhaps.

Dan · Sep 9, 2019

Categories are on this page: Find a Plumber in England

There isn't one for Birmingham on its own. So choose one and submit it there, but then we'll optimise the listing for a few counties if you need rank for a few. So stick the areas you want to rank for in a bullet pointed list in the listing and we'll pick it up from those for you.

Harvest Fields · Sep 9, 2019

Will have a look later this week.

Lou · Sep 10, 2019

If you pm me your business details and website if you have one I can sort it for you.

If you dont have a website then just write a bit about what you do and i will pep it up a bit
