Indexing city directories- business names
I know that if there is a business listing on the side of the page or after the name listed in the directory, with a person's name, it needs to be indexed. But what about the Business name? When it's Smith and Co. do you index Smith? or Reed Windows, do you index Reed?

Hi. Consider joining the Indexing Chat Group for the quickest response to your questions.
Yes. Surname Smith, Given Names: Ctrl+B (i.e. <Blank>}. Same idea for Reed.

- Index names of employers and and employees.ย When indexing business names, index the names of individuals only. For example, "The Ad Book" would not be indexed, but "๐๐๐ซ๐ง๐๐ซ ๐๐๐ก๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ค ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ข๐ช๐ฎ๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ" ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ฑ๐๐. ๐๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฌ๐, ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ ๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฌ. ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐ซ๐ง๐๐ซ (๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง๐๐ฆ๐) ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐ก๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ค (๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง๐๐ฆ๐). Do not index occupations or terms such as, "banker," "policeman," "M.D.," or similar terms.
