FAQs

What happens if my listing is rejected? You'll receive an email explaining the issue. Common reasons include: invalid license information, inappropriate photo, or incomplete required fields. Fix the issue and resubmit.

Can I edit my listing while it's pending? Yes. Continue making changes and click Publish Draft again. Only your most recent submission is reviewed.

How do I know my listing is approved? You'll receive an email confirmation. You can also check your listing status in the dashboard—it will show "Active" instead of "Pending."

What if I need to make changes after approval? Edit your Profile and click Publish Draft. A new version enters the review queue while your current approved version stays live. Once the new version is approved, it replaces the old one.

Will my listing appear on all publications immediately? After approval, your listing is assigned to publications based on your Industries, Languages, and Community Connections. It may take a short time to propagate across all sites.
