Once you have successfully completed the payment process you will be able to set up your display page.

You will need to go through the following steps:

Choose top level service category/ies.

Don't worry if you miss one, or get this slightly wrong, as at this stage the information is only used to store the draft display page you are creating. You will have to revisit the services later to choose more detailed service definitions that can be used by the search capabilities within The Ad Index. Once you have chosen the appropriate category/ies by clicking your mouse over the associated box(es) to place a tick in the box, click on the 'submit' button.

You will now be on the detailed input screen.

You will now be shown a screen which includes a draft of your display page based on the information you have entered. On the left side of this screen are some navigation buttons that you need to use to complete your display advert. You can go back into 'Edit Details' to amend the information you have just entered.
