Abstract
A source server receives listing identification data for transmission of an enhanced listing comprising enhanced content to a plurality of provider servers. For each provider server of the plurality of provider servers, the source server transmits to the provider server the listing identification data. When the source server determines that an identifier corresponding to the listing identification data that indicates the listing is present on the provider server does not exist in a database associated with the source 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 a matching listing exits on the provider server, the source server transmits to the provider server the enhanced listing with the identifier employed by the provider server as an indication to the provider server to update the listing on the provider server with the enhanced content.
