General information for all directory listings
Please also read the Transcription Registry Terms of Use
- In order to list your business in the directory, you must first register at Transcription Registry. You will be sent a confirmation e-mail. When you receive it, click on the link to confirm your registration, then you may log in and add your listing. Make sure you whitelist transcriptionregistry.com so e-mail doesn’t get sent to your spam folder.
- For best results, fill in all fields completely.
- A website URL is not required. If you don’t have a website, leave this field blank.
- Your site title must be your business name and only your business name. It cannot contain extraneous keywords or descriptive text.
- Use the “logo” field to upload a logo. Logos can be up to 500 pixels wide x100 pixels high in *.jpg, *.gif or *.png format.
- A logo is not required. The logo will only display for premium and sponsored listings (for details about each type of listing see below).
- Logos, photos and graphics are allowed only in the photo field.
- Each listing is allowed inclusion in up to 3 categories. Please select the most appropriate categories. (See below for making category suggestions.)
- The amount of information included in the description field is not limited; however, for free standard listings, the full text will only display on your detail page.
- Do not include your address, phone number, etc. in the description field. These are displayed on your detail listing page.
- Links, pictures or uploaded files of any type are not allowed in the description field.
You may modify your listing by logging in and editing it. You will need the listing number, which is available on the detail page, and the password you set when you created your account. TranscriptionConnections recommends that you register as a user and create your listing. If you have already created a listing without registering as a user, you can register and claim your listing. You will need the resource ID and password, which are sent when your account is approved. To claim a listing, log in and click on the Claim Listing in the user control panel. You will be prompted for the resource ID and password of the listing you want to claim. It is easier to make changes to your listing if you are a registered user.
All new listings and modified listings are held in the moderation queue until approved. TranscriptionRegistry.com will not make changes to the listings; however, you may be notified if there are issues with your listing, and the listing will not be approved until the issues are resolved. Otherwise, new submissions and modifications are approved within 24 to 36 hours.
A thumbshot of your website (if you have one) will automatically be included in the slider, in the categories pages and your detail page. If you see a message “image coming soon” in the thumbshot for your listing, it is because Thumbshots.com has not indexed your site. Go to Thumbshots and read the FAQ for directions on how to get your website indexed. TranscriptionRegistry.com utilizes the Thumbshots free service to display these thumbshots; we do not have any relationship with Thumbshots.com or any control over what sites are indexed. If you have issues with the thumbshot, please contact them directly.

How to get the most out of your listing
Entering information in all the fields is key to getting the most out of your listing.
The general search function only searches specific fields: title, keywords, URL. The Power Search searches any field where a search word or phrase is entered.
Since many users searching for services will try the general search first, it is recommended that you make sure the keywords field is completed with all the relevant keywords for your field of specialty to improve the chances of your listing being returned in the search results.
If you have a standard listing, make maximum use out of the first 250 characters in your description. On all pages except your detail page, only the first 250 characters will be displayed. This is your sales pitch, to get someone to click on the detail link or the link to your site. Make it count!
