Question about updating a listing

[dennisgemmell]

My company name is still listed in the ODP but no longer viewable under a specific category. I can find the listing by typing in my company name and then clicking 'search'. A while back, I decided to significantly enhance the website and unwisely first removed the old website (for some time) from the Internet while doing the upgrading. Thus, I certainly understand why it was removed from the ODP category. The website enhancement consisted of adding a lot of pictures, graphics and additional content (e.g., educational articles). I also changed the URL name, and I added an alternate company name; both to improve the marketing of my consulting services. The company name in the ODP is still the official legal company name. Despite these cosmetic changes, the services I provide have remained unchanged.

 

Late last year, I submitted the new URL to the ODP (with the new alternate company name) for review. At the time, I checked to see if I was still in the ODP by typing in the old URL. The response came up negative. I did not think of typing in the company name at the time. Here is my question. Should I just continue to wait for an evaluation of this new submission or should I contact someone? Essentially, I am not certain if what I did to my website (and name) qualifies as an ‘Update' of a listing. Your advice would be very much appreciated.

Just wait for the suggestion to be processed.

When that will happen is something we do not know.

Once a site is removed from the category, it's a new suggestion, not an update...

The sticky search results are a bug that we are aware of.

Thank you both for the clarification.
