For Spray-Drone Operators
Commercial Listing Profile Guide
A road agency, utility or land manager often finds you through your directory listing before they ever call. This guide covers what to put in each field so the right buyers can find you and quickly tell whether you fit their work.
How Buyers Read a Listing
What Buyers Look at First
Commercial buyers scan a page of results. Most decide in a few seconds whether to open a listing. They look for four things:
Where you are
Your town and state tell a buyer whether mobilizing to their site is realistic.
Where you work
States Served drives state search. If a state isn't listed, buyers searching that state won't see you.
What you spray
Plain service words, such as roadside ditches, pasture, spot spraying or invasive weeds, match what buyers type.
Whether they can reach you
Unclaimed listings show no phone, email or website. Claiming your listing puts your contact details on it.
Field by Field
What to Enter and What to Avoid
| Field | What to enter | Common mistakes |
|---|---|---|
| Business name | Your registered business name, or the name customers know you by. | A personal name when the business has its own name. A different name than your invoices show. |
| City and state | The real town you work out of. If you'd rather not list a town, leave City blank and the listing shows your state only. | Guessing a nearby larger town, or listing a town you don't actually operate from. |
| States Served | The states where you currently do work. | Adding states you hope to work in someday. Buyers in those states will call, and it costs you credibility. |
| Services | The spray work you do, in the words a buyer would use: broad-acre spraying, spot spraying, roadside and ditch spraying, brush control, invasive weed control, aerial seeding. | Equipment-sales language, jargon, or services you don't perform. Spraying needs to be part of what you offer. |
| Other Services / description | A few plain sentences on the jobs you take, the sites you handle and what you provide afterward (records, maps, follow-up). | Slogans, superlatives, or claims you can't back up on a call. |
| Operating radius | A number of miles from your base you normally travel for work. | Text like "anywhere," or a radius that conflicts with your States Served. |
| Phone and email | A number and inbox someone checks during the season. Shown once your listing is claimed. | An inbox that blocks outside senders or that nobody reads. A buyer who gets no answer moves on. |
| Website | Your own business website. | A link to someone else's directory, or a page that no longer loads. |
| Social Page | One business social page: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, or a LinkedIn company page. | A personal profile. LinkedIn personal profiles (linkedin.com/in/...) are not shown. |
Buyer Filters
Choosing Project Types
Buyers can filter the directory by project type. WeedGunners assigns project types from the services you describe, so describe the work you actually do and the right types will follow. A listing with no project types won't appear when a buyer uses the filter.
Agriculture
Row crops, specialty crops and other farm fields. Generic spraying descriptions default here.
Pasture & Rangeland
Grazing land, hay ground and rangeland weed or brush control.
Habitat & Conservation
Wildlife habitat, CRP and conservation acres, prairie work and food plots.
Rights-of-Way
Roadsides, utility and pipeline corridors, rail lines, ditches, canals and ditch banks.
Managed Sites
Golf courses, industrial yards, solar sites and other maintained properties.
Forestry
Timberland, reforestation sites and woody-vegetation release work.
Aquatic & Wetlands
Ponds, lakes, wetlands and aquatic vegetation management.

How to Claim or Update Your Listing
- Search for your business at directory.weedgunners.com. Many operators are already listed from public information and marked "Unclaimed."
- Open your listing and claim it free. One short form adds your contact details, and you can correct anything on the listing at the same time.
- We confirm the business and contact are real using public sources, then the listing shows "Operator confirmed" with your phone, email, website and social page.
- Not listed yet? Add a new listing.
- Need a change later? Use "Suggest a correction" on your listing page.
Featured listings are an optional paid upgrade ($99 per year). They add your logo, photos, a description in your own words, a contact name and a map pin, and they appear first in results. A free confirmed listing works without it.
