Once you've purchased your ad package, the next step is getting your ad info to us.

Set up can be handled two ways.

The first way is to get the basic part of your ad set up on your own and then email us the additional images, audio, video, etc. that you want placed in your ad or in the other sections of our site(coupons, menus, etc.).

When setting up your own ad, you will be able to upload two images.  One is a logo or banner(up to 600 x 300 px and 300 kb) that will be shown at the top of your ad and the other is an icon or avatar(up to 80 x 80 px and 300 kb) that will be displayed when we run our scrolling ads and in the general category view of ad sections.  These images should be in jpg or gif format.

Setting up your own account also gives you the freedom to change the basic information of your ad as often as you wish.

Instructions to do this are:

1. Register for our Shop The Burgh site.
2. After you have activated your account, simply add your business to our Pittsburgh business directory.
3. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it the additional info to be inserted into your ad and other sections of the site.

The second way is to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it all the info that you want posted(up to 10MB).

Your email should include:

• Categories/subcategories(up to 5) that your ad should be placed in. If you don't see your category listed, tell us and we'll create it.
• Text and layout for your business directory listing. If you have it in html code that would be great. Otherwise, we'll work with you to get it looking right.
• Any meta keywords for your ad. If you don't have any or don't know what we're talking about, we'll pick keywords based on your market and ad.
• Any other images, audio, or video that you want included.
• Don't forget to submit any menus, coupons, special offers, etc. so we can include those in the appropriate sections. We highly recommend providing some sort of special offer, even if it's only a free consultation or small discount.
• Any other special instructions or requests you may have.
