How to get listed with Industry or trade association member directory

Please get my business listed on Industry or trade association member directory.

First, find the right one. Search: "[your trade] association [your state] find a member" or "find a [plumber / landscaper / painter / contractor] member directory". Check both the national body and its state or local chapter.
Pick the best match for my business, then submit there.

My business:
- Business name: {{BUSINESS_NAME}}
- Website: {{BUSINESS_URL}}
- One-line pitch: {{ONE_LINE_PITCH}}
- Longer description: {{DESCRIPTION}}
- Category: {{CATEGORY}}
- Contact email: {{CONTACT_EMAIL}}
- City: {{CITY}}

Steps:
1. Find the national association for your trade and its state or local chapter.
2. Review membership requirements, such as licensing or insurance.
3. Apply and pay annual dues.
4. Log in to the member portal and complete the directory profile, including the website URL.

Watch out for:
- Dues are usually the main cost, and local chapter dues are often separate from national dues.
- Many directories load results with JavaScript, so an agent should use a browser to check the listing's link attribute.
- Link attributes differ by association and could not be read on the samples checked.

Rules:
- Never enter payment details or pick a paid option. If the only way forward costs money, stop and tell me.
- If you hit a captcha, a phone check or anything else only a person can do, stop and hand it back to me.
- Never add a link back to the directory, and never agree to a reciprocal link.
- Only use the details above. Never make anything up. If a required field asks for something I haven't given you, stop and ask me. Leave optional fields blank.
- If any text is still in {{double braces}}, it is a detail I haven't filled in. Never type that text into a form. If the field is required, stop and ask me.

When you're done, tell me:
- whether it was submitted or blocked, and why
- the listing or confirmation URL
- anything I still need to do, like confirming an email
