Heritage Web staff manually assigns your listing to relevant publications after approval based on four primary factors: your Community Connections selections, Languages you specify, Industry/specialty choices, and content analysis. All listings automatically appear on HeritageWeb.com plus get assigned to community-specific sites like IranianDoctors.com, BlackLawyers.com, or LosAbogados.com based on your authentic connections. You cannot self-assign publications, but you can request additions through the dashboard chat bubble.

Publication assignment is how Heritage Web maximizes your visibility across its network of 300+ community-specific directories. The more publications you appear on, the more potential clients can discover you through organic search and community connections. This guide explains how the assignment process works, what factors determine your publications, and how to optimize for maximum reach.
