Listing a company profile#
Steps#
- Click list a company.
- Choose a trade — the form fields depend on it.
- Fill in the name, address and contacts.
- Write a description of what you do.
- Enter your opening hours.
- Add a logo and photographs.
- If you are not signed in, set a password for editing.
- Submit. The site tells you straight away what the profile is waiting for — if it requires it, confirm using the link in the email (it works even when you are not signed in, and clicking it again does no harm).
The form is empty until you choose a trade
The fields differ by trade. It is not a fault.
Only trades you may list into are offered
Trades the operator has switched off or reserved for themselves are not in the choice.
The blocked message
If after submitting you see "Sending is not allowed: the e-mail, phone or IP address is blocked.", the site operator has blocked your e-mail, phone or connection and the profile was not saved.
The trade#
Choose the trade as precisely as you can
Customers search for "plumber Kolín", not "services". A more precise classification means fewer pointless enquiries and more of the right ones.
You can list under several trades
If your company does two different things, list it under both. With paid categories, expect to pay for each.
Name and description#
The length is limited — usually 150 characters for the company name and 10,000 for the description (the site administrator can change it). A counter right in the field shows how many you have used; formatting of the description does not count.
Say what you do, not what kind of company you are
"Bosch and Siemens washing machine repairs, Kolín and surroundings, within 24 hours" says more than "We are a dynamic company with a long tradition".
State the area you cover
For trades and services it is the first thing people ask.
Contacts#
Check the phone number and email
A typo in a contact means a listing nobody can reach you through — and you will think the catalogue does not work.
Opening hours#
Entered in a dedicated field — days, hours, and any lunch break.
Check the opening hours after saving
It is the most complex field on the form and may be saved empty if the browser plays up.
State when you are closed too
A customer who arrives to a closed door does not come back.
Photographs#
The file size is limited — the maximum is shown by the hint in the upload area. A larger file is rejected with a message that it is too large.
You can submit even while files are uploading
If you click submit before all the files have uploaded, the form waits with the message Please wait until the files finish uploading — the form will then be saved automatically. and sends itself once the upload is done. Do not close the page in the meantime.
The first photograph appears in the listing
Put the premises or a piece of your work there, not the logo — that is shown separately.
The editing password#
If you list without signing in, you set a password — without it the system could not tell the listing is yours.
A password of your own must have at least 6 characters; an empty field means the system generates one.
If you forget it: on the listing's edit page click I forgot my password and enter the email for the company profile. A link for setting a new password arrives there — it is valid for 1 hour and works only once. Once the new password is saved, the listing's edit screen opens straight away.
The password can be recovered, you do not have to list the company again
A new listing would mean losing the ratings and the position in the directory.
After entering the password you have two hours of access
Then it closes and you enter the password again. After five wrong passwords within 15 minutes, editing is closed completely for a quarter of an hour.
The new-password link goes only to the email in the listing
It cannot be sent anywhere else — otherwise anyone could take over someone else's company. If you lose access to that mailbox, you will need to contact the operator.
Better to list the company while signed in
With an account, you do not need to keep track of a password and have all your listings in one place.
