An UGLii Link can be purchased as a 1-year subscription online using a credit card. As part of that subscription, you can also install our interactive map on your website to show where your business is. This is a simple process with full instructions provided from your Control Panel. You can install it on your website yourself - no skills required. Providing a fully interactive map on your website is handy for visitors to your website that have not come through the Slovenian Business/UGLii Find system - such as visitors that discovered you through a search engine or know your domain name.

After you have purchased an UGLii Link, your business listing and UGLii changes to blue color, this lets users know that more information is available about your business. Businesses with UGLii Links are listed first in alphabetical order, followed by businesses with verified and up-to-date information, and lastly by regular business listings.

When you purchase an UGLii Link the number of characters that you have available for keywords increases from 250 to 5000. This means that you can be much more specific in your use of keywords - which means greater discoverability for your business.
