Questions about this directory
Short answers to what people write in and ask. Anything not covered below goes to {CONTACT EMAIL}.
Questions buyers ask before they shortlist
Is the directory free to use?
Yes, all of it, with no account. Browsing and filtering are open to anyone who lands on a page. Every company profile is visible without signing up. Listing a company at the basic level is free too.
How do companies get selected?
By hand, from public sources, one company at a time. The bar is a real European battery business with a website that says what it does. Nobody is added for asking and nobody is added for paying.
What does verified mean here?
It means the source page was opened and read on a stated date. The record carries that address and that date. What is covered is whether a business exists and what it publishes about itself. It stops there.
How do I claim or remove a listing?
Write from an email address on the company's own domain. Claiming lets you edit the record. Removal needs no reason, costs nothing and takes {CORRECTION TURNAROUND}.
How do I get a featured placement?
Featured is one of three paid tiers and runs for a year. It buys a labelled block at the top of your category page. The list underneath does not move, because its order is alphabetical and money cannot reach it.
Do you take a commission on orders?
No. No cut, no finder's fee and no percentage of anything agreed between a buyer and a supplier. Buyers contact companies directly and this site never sees the invoice.
Why are there no reviews or star ratings?
Because an average score hides the thing a buyer needs. Shortlists get settled on standards held, documented capacity and what a register says, none of which reduces to a number out of five. Publishing reviews in the EU also brings verification and moderation duties a one-person directory cannot meet honestly.
How often is the data rechecked?
Within twelve months at the latest. Three things pull a record forward: the site stops answering, the company changes hands or somebody writes in with a correction. The date on every record is the day it was last opened, not the day it was created.
Who is behind it?
{OPERATOR NAME}, working alone. The same person collects the data, writes the pages and answers {CONTACT EMAIL}.
What happens when a listed company closes?
The record stays and is marked closed. Deleting it would break every link pointing at it and leave the question unanswered for the next person who searches the name.
