How listings and directories work

Creating and managing listings on 24 Motor Yachts

This help file explains how listings, directories and publishing tools should be understood on 24 Motor Yachts at 24motoryachts.com.

What listings are for

Listings are structured records used to display assets, services, opportunities or businesses in the correct part of the 24 Motor Yachts. Depending on the website, a listing may represent a yacht, sailing yacht, catamaran, superyacht, aircraft, empty leg, property, ship, marina, shipyard, supplier, job, wanted request or another sector-specific item.

For 24 Motor Yachts, listings should be written for the motor yachts sector and for users such as motor yacht brokers, owners, buyers, managers and agents. This means the fields, images, descriptions and publishing choices should make sense for that audience.

Where listings are managed

Many listings are managed centrally through 24Synergy or a dedicated dashboard, while satellite sites display the public result. This allows one listing system to feed multiple websites without rebuilding the same record again and again.

How to create a good listing

  1. Open the listing or directory dashboard.
  2. Choose the correct listing type.
  3. Enter a clear title and description.
  4. Add accurate specifications, price, location, availability or relevant sector details.
  5. Upload good-quality images.
  6. Add brochures or documents only where appropriate.
  7. Choose the correct publishing destination.
  8. Preview and check the listing before it goes public.

Image guidance

Images are often the first thing users notice. Use clear, well-lit, relevant images. Avoid tiny, blurry, stretched, duplicated or unrelated images. Do not upload images you do not have permission to use.

Documents and brochures

Some listings allow brochures, certificates, specification sheets, plans, CVs, technical reports or supporting files. Always understand whether a file is public or private. Public brochures are different from confidential documents.

Publishing rules

Only publish a listing to relevant websites. A private jet listing should not appear in a sailing yacht section. A motor yacht profile should not be published as a charter yacht. Correct publishing helps users trust the network.

Common mistakes

  • Choosing the wrong listing type.
  • Leaving important fields blank.
  • Uploading poor images.
  • Publishing to the wrong website.
  • Forgetting to update sold, expired or unavailable listings.
  • Copying content from another website without permission.

Troubleshooting

  • Listing not visible: check published status, access level and destination site.
  • Images missing: check upload path and whether full URLs are stored.
  • Wrong information showing: edit the central listing record.
  • Cannot add more listings: membership limits may apply.
  • Public page looks empty: the display module may not be assigned or connected to the correct feed.

Important warning

Listings are business records. Inaccurate listings can create disputes, waste users' time and damage the credibility of the network. Keep information honest, current and properly authorised.
