Company catalogue — how it works#
A list of companies with contacts, a description and opening hours. Customers find you in it by trade and location.
How a listing is created#
- You fill in the profile — steps.
- You confirm it using the link in an email — if the site requires it.
- The operator approves it — if the site approves profiles.
- You pay, if the category requires payment.
- The profile remains active until its validity ends.
Steps 2 to 4 do not depend on each other
The profile is published once everything the site requires is met. Right after you submit, the site tells you what your profile is waiting for.
What a profile usually includes#
| Field | Note |
|---|---|
| Name, company number, address | |
| Phone, email, website | |
| Description of the business | |
| Opening hours | |
| Photographs and logo | |
| Trade and region | how people find you |
The exact fields depend on the trade
A restaurant fills in different details from a garage.
Do I have to register?#
No. A listing can be entered without an account — you get a password for editing.
An account is more convenient
You do not need to keep track of a password, and you have an overview of payments. For a paid listing, it is worth it.
Validity#
A listing remains active for a period, and a warning arrives before it ends.
Once expired, the listing is removed from the catalogue
And customers stop finding you. Extend it in good time.
