Abstract
A source server receives listing identification data for transmission of an enhanced listing comprising enhanced content to a provider server. The source server searches the provider server for a matching listing based on the received listing identification data. When the source server determines that there is no matching listing on the provider server or that a potential matching received from the provider server is a non-matching listing, the source server transmits the enhanced listing without an identifier as an indication to the provider server to create a listing using the enhanced content. When the source server determines that the potential matching listing received from the provider server is a matching listing, the source server transmits to the provider server the enhanced listing with an identifier provided by the provider server as an indication to the provider server to update the enhanced listing on the provider server with the enhanced content.
