This is a project to help professional genealogists market themselves for free on FamilySearch Wiki.

Get noticed. It's free!

In 2011, FamilySearch Wiki received an average of 306,076 unique visitors per month. How many Websites attract that many genealogy visitors and allow a researcher to list his professional services for free?

Why promote professional genealogists on the wiki?

One purpose of FamilySearch Wiki is to help patrons find the records of their ancestors. The wiki already has tens of thousands of links to digitized records that require an access fee. Linking to professional researchers that can provide the same records is no more commercial, and gives the patron one more way to access his ancestors' records. To learn more about why FamilySearch is doing this project, please visit the <a href="FamilySearch Wiki talk:WikiProject Professional Genealogists">discussion page</a>.

Appropriate marketing on FamilySearch Wiki

  • Post your professional genealogy education (degree), credentials, experience, associations, and business license compliance on your user page.
  • Attach <a href="Help:Subpages">sub-pages</a> to your user page which include descriptions of services offered, examples of research proposals and client reports, and customer testimonials.

Inappropriate marketing on FamilySearch Wiki

  • Don't add an entry to a page like <a href="Ohio Vital Records">Ohio Vital Records</a> that says "Joe Genius is a professional genealogist who does fee-based vital records lookups in Ohio vital records. Click here to go to his user page and see his services and fee schedule."
  • Don't use FamilySearch copyrighted materials or images in any pages you make to promote your business. Some patrons may incorrectly interpret this to mean that FamilySearch endorses your business. 

Want to help?

We're interested in collaborating with members of the professional community to figure out ways to enable marketing of a professional's services on the wiki. Sign up here if you'd like to help brainstorm ideas. You can also add your ideas to the Discussion page.This page is not the place to advertise. This page is for organizing those who wish to help build the various wiki pages that will point wiki patrons towards professionals who can help them.
