Hello,

I am new to this and would really love to understand how to get a site listing moved from one category to a more relevant one?

Falcon Motorcycles is currently listed under: Regional: North America: United States: California: Counties: Los Angeles: Business and Economy: Automotive

I feel it would make much more sense to list it under: Business: Automotive: Motorcycles: Makes and Models: Retailers: Multiple Brand

As it is a very specific business that sells multiple brand British motorcycles.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Right now it is listed with used car dealers and much less relevant businesses.

Thanks,

Ryllis33

No need to move it. Many websites are eligible for a Regional locality listing plus maybe a Topical listing. Simply additionally suggest your website to the Topical category, if you haven't done so already, and some editor will process it in time.

Thanks for this quick reply. Much appreciated. I may have entered it into the topical listing but I can't remember -- would it hurt to re-enter it now even if I have?

I have read that it is not good to enter it twice and I really want to do the right/respectful thing. :upside:

Thanks again for your time and advice. I miss England!

p.s.

If I did submit it to the topical listing, it wouldn't have been with as good a description as the one it was given in the regional listing.. so would it be good to re-submit with the better description any way?

Suggesting a site twice to the same category is not needed but it will do you no harm. The new suggestion will overwrite the previous one.

overwriting

That's great to know, thank you.

WHen it overwrites it - will it putting back at the bottom of the queue again (and therefore take longer to be noticed), or will it overwrite it in the same placement as before?

Best,

It's not a first in first out queue, it's a random access pool. Editors on limited time in a category may well cherry pick the ones with the least hyped titles and descriptions first (as I do).

That said, if an editor chooses to work the pool in suggestion date order, a resuggested website will be at the bottom of the list.
