Getting listings indexed: Business Directory Submission Service
Submi’s business directory submission reference for Business Directory Submission Service: A listing can only help in search once a search engine has crawled and indexed the page it sits on, which often does not happen on its own.
Why live does not mean indexed
A directory can publish a page that no search engine has visited. Deep listing pages get little attention from crawlers, particularly on large directories. To check, search for the exact listing URL, or the product name together with the directory’s name, and see whether the page appears.
What an indexing request does
An indexing service asks a search engine to look at a URL. It cannot make the engine keep the page. Results vary by directory and by page quality, and any seller promising that every link will be indexed is promising something it doesn’t control.
How credits work at Submi
Submi sells indexing requests as index credits, and its higher plan includes a request for every live listing. Rankings, traffic, indexing and domain rating increases are not guaranteed. Treat indexing as a useful step and check the outcome per URL.
