Yes, we have moderation on our site. But it is designed so that your company can be displayed in the appropriate subcategory, the specified details of the legal entity corresponded to the address and other information about the company, and the basic rules of the site usage were followed, as well as to stop the spread of deliberately false information, and tackle other issues that help make our catalogue more accurate and useful.

If you look at how your company profile could look like (example), you will realise that by filling it with necessary useful information you will optimise the search for your company, make your service or product more known, and become closer to consumers.

For example, in the “Files” section you can attach a PDF file describing your services, costs, your product’s operational manual, or any other interesting and useful information. Competently composed PDF file is essentially a web page in a static form, with pictures, diagrams, external links, etc.

The possibilities of your profile are only limited by your imagination!

In addition to social networks and messengers where you can both communicate with your customers and show visually everything you need, you can provide access to marketplaces where your products and services are placed. 

This is, in our opinion, the freedom in “advertising tools” for our users.

For those who want to place their service on our platform for the first time, a maximum of 3 different services per month is allowed.

To do this, you need to be a registered user who has passed moderation.

You need to have an annual subscription to “Almost Free Account” (£2/month) and purchase “Ad Lane” service (£15/month)

You can find these products here.

After you purchase Ad Lane and fill in the required information in the “control panel” of your account, your public profile will have an “Ads” section where your ad will be displayed with a description of services and the opportunity for customers to click on the button to order and pay for your service. You can share this ad anywhere, through messengers, social networks, SMS, etc.

Sometimes thousands of companies register in one day. Our monitoring team identifies that it was, for example, an SEO team, and they are trying to raise the rating of 10 or more companies using our catalogue. They buy 100 or more domains where the first year costs, for example, £1, and then they attach simple sites to them trying to “promote” them on the Web. These situations happen, and so to avoid entering rubbish into our database, we carefully check and “clean”, or filter, incoming data. In any case, if you are who you say you are, your profile will be checked and approved after some time. Verification usually takes no more than 72 hours. If you have received a notification from us with your password and you see your public profile, but there is a note that the profile is under moderation, it means that everything is fine and you can log in to your account, enter information, edit, etc. Your account will be opened for public review shortly and you will receive an email notification about it.

But, if you have any questions, please contact us (here) and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

You can purchase a package that allows you to sell your services on our platform. This will mean that your customers will have the opportunity to pay for your services through our site, and the transaction will be completed under our supervision and control. This protects you, the seller, from unscrupulous buyers who either don't pay or pay and then demand their money back. In turn, the buyer will be confident that they are dealing with a respectable and responsible seller, who do not hide anything, and are willing to guarantee their work and the terms of its performance. For ease of communication, as soon as your buyer pays for your services, you will be able to communicate with them via chat on our platform.

Yes, you can, as long as it doesn’t violate our site’s terms of use.

Sometimes marketing companies which also do SEO try to create a lot of accounts of the same company under different names, change the logo, and provide links to different sections of the site.

That doesn’t work. Moreover, it hurts the ranking of the advertised site. Search engine bots immediately notice such manipulations and lower the “advertised” site in search results. Such actions are usually committed by unscrupulous, uneducated advertisers who charge below market value for their services and simply fill in minimal and repetitive information about your company everywhere they can.

Please note that our catalogue has been on the market for over 10 years and we do not belong to the “yellow press” or cheap sites with an expiration date. In addition to algorithms that check the external links (sites) that are placed with us for public access, we have a team of moderators, and data are constantly being compared and checked, so if someone was able to register multiple accounts for one company, they will all be removed in the near future and the work of advertising the site will have been done in vain. Moreover, that company name will be associated with an inactive (dead) link, which will negatively affect the ranking of the site and the company.

For advertisers, we recommend contacting us if you need to open a large number of accounts for your clients.

We advise the owners of the companies to fill out their profiles themselves, or to clarify with their advertising companies where and how they will register their site and the company for promoting on the Web.

It is much more productive and profitable in the long run to fill your company profile with more detailed and interesting information.

If you have not 1 store, but a whole network, you can specify your branches in the “Branches” section.

If you have not just one video, but a whole channel, provide a corresponding link in the appropriate section.

If you have not 1 file that you want to attach, but several files containing instructions for your products, and you want to separate them, — no problem, — you can attach several files in the appropriate section.
