Our Partnering Programs
UniversalBusinessListing.org has many ways partners can utilize the UBL business profile distribution service and profit from it - this site provides information and tools to do so. But at any time you can reach us at contact@universalbusinesslisting.org or phone 408-413-3828 to talk to us directly about options and bulk pricing discounts.
Here we provide specific details of how to work with UBL as an interactive advertising or marketing agency (including SEOs and CMRs), as a directory , as an affiliate marketer or as a channel partner. You will find information about data formats, APIs, affiliate links, promotional materials and the bulk delivery process.
Our goal is to provide the most effective way for your customers to have their business details distributed across search engines, online Yellow Pages directories, 411 directory assistance, mobile phones and GPS navigation devices. UBL has agreements with key data aggregators like InfoUSA and Acxiom who provide the underlying listing databases to the major Search Engines, and supplements that with direct input into other important Directories.Our commitment to you as our partner is that we will not compete with you nor sell your client's data - we make it freely available only to legitimate directories. We are not a directory ourselves, nor a marketing company nor a list manager.
UBL will continue to create interfaces that work for your client relationships. UBL is happy to work in the background as a White Labeled service or one which is bundled with other products or services.
There are two main ways partners work with us:
1. By gathering data themselves and sending Bulk files to us.
2. By placing customized Affiliate links on their Websites or email campaigns.

UBL Overview
The foundation of a successful Internet search campaign is the accuracy of business records at the local level. Today businesses have to deal with outdated information, closed locations and inaccurate telephone numbers that continue to appear in search results. These errors represent lost business and a negative customer experience. It also creates client frustration if they look to an advertising agency to fix it. At the same time Search Engines are looking for more details such as brands, coupons and photos, none of which come from traditional data sources. However there is a solution.
Our Mission
To provide a cost effective solution for businesses or their agencies to enter comprehensive listing data about their company in one place and have that data be distributed uniformly to all major Internet Business Listings Directories, including Online Yellow Pages, Search Engines, Local Portals, Mobile/GPS navigation devices and 411 Directory Assistance services.
Our Model
An Industry initiative – a .org site that offers a single entry point for complete business profile information in the best standards available, including hCard formatting. These are submitted to publishers as “default” listings created by the business or the agency that represents them and which certifies them as accurate. An Industry committee will hold the database in escrow and will define data component standards. All Directories will be able to access the data electronically for free as long as they meet minimal requirements.
- We will partner with interactive advertising agencies, including SEOs and Yellow Pages CMRs, and offer commissions based upon overall annual volume commitment.
- These partners become the UBL Agency of Record and no other entity can add or change a listing for their client; the relationship is locked.
- Directories, agencies and related Industry groups may also promote links as affiliates to www.universalbusinesslisting.org so businesses can self-serve data entry in one location.
- Agencies or other entities that represent large numbers of businesses can bulk upload data electronically. Updates are free and loaded real-time to the platform.
- Approved Directories can bulk download the data electronically. UBL alternatively delivers data to Publishers via bulk uploads and manual input into publically available forms.
What We Will Not Do
UBL will not compete with you. We are neither an online directory company nor a data re-seller. We will not re-market your customer’s data to anyone. We are strictly a repository of business information created by the customer and the agencies that represent them.
UBL Is Your Solution For
Client confusion over listing inaccuracies, out-of-date listings, bad data over-rides, duplication, lack of corporate control over identity, lack of data standards, missing VOIP or Cell phone numbers in traditional databases and missing data that matters to Search Engines.
