Listing Pending
Why is my listing still pending? The most important steps when signing up for a business listing on City Top 10 is reading the Qualifications needed for approval as these guidelines must be met for listing consideration.
These steps are important: Read the descriptions of each listing plan. When registering include all the required information on the sign up page. The City Top 10 listing pages are designed to feature 3 good quality 640 x 480 sized business photos in the gallery. Plus 1 good quality main photo that will be shown as a featured image throughout the website and when shared as a link. We suggest using images from a businesses website or social media profiles. City Top 10 reserves the right to refuse a listing submission when poor quality images have been uploaded or poor online reviews have been noted.
If any of the required information and/or images are not completed, the listing will stay as pending. Periodic reviews of the listings images and information will determine if the business listing qualifies for approval.
The listing will remain pending if the required images and information are not uploaded for review. The time limit to make the necessary edits while pending is 90 days after which, the listings information and images will be deleted. The profile and account will remain, to create a new listing and make future edits.
Image Sizing
Mentioned in the sign up page is the suggested image sizing for the best viewing experience of the listing. We care about the quality and authenticity of the listings when viewed on our directory.
We understand that resizing and renaming your images can be a task but the benefits are best represented back towards your business. A good marketing tip is to rename your images to best describe the image or include your business name as your listing photos can be displayed on the internet.
