A listing is free and stays free. Paying buys a labelled block above the list, a checked record and a way for buyers to message you. It never buys a higher position, because the list is alphabetical and money cannot reach it.
The three paid tiers run for a year, are priced in euros and are sold at a founding rate that holds for as long as the listing runs. Every paid placement carries a label saying it was paid for.

Position in the list is alphabetical on every tier, Category Partner included. Nothing in this table changes it.
What no tier buys
A higher place in the alphabetical list.
A kinder description than the source supports.
The removal of a field you would rather not see.
A check the evidence does not carry. The grade follows the source, not the invoice.
A commission on anything you agree with a buyer. There is none, at any tier.
What you are buying while this directory is young
manufakturhub launched in 2026 and has no traffic worth quoting yet. Anyone selling a listing who will not show a number is asking you to guess. Here is the number, and it is small.
What exists today is 313 records across 17 segments and 22 countries, each one opened on the company’s own website and dated, plus six buyer guides. What a paid tier buys at this stage is the top of a page that is being built to rank, at a price fixed before the traffic arrives. That is the only reason EUR 990 is possible at all, and it is the whole of the offer.
So the first year carries a floor. From the end of month three, every paid page gets a monthly figure by email: sessions, search impressions and outbound clicks to your website. If your category page has not delivered 500 sessions across the twelve months of your term, the next year is free. Nothing to claim, and nothing to chase.
Ask about a paid tier
There is no checkout here. Tell us which tier and which category, and you get back a note confirming the slot is open, what it will look like on your page, and an invoice with payment terms. Nothing is charged until you have seen the page.
Cancel inside the first 30 days and the payment is refunded in full. No form and no reason needed. Email contact@manufakturhub.com with the word cancel and it is done.
How results are ordered: alphabetically by company name and nothing else. No other parameter is applied and nobody can pay to change the order. Paid placements sit in a separate block above the list and carry a paid label, so they can always be told apart from the results.
Questions companies ask before they buy
Does paying move my company up the list?
No. Companies appear in alphabetical order by name and payment cannot alter that. A paid placement sits in a labelled block above the list, where a reader can see it for what it is.
What does the founding rate actually lock?
The price, for as long as you keep the listing running. Founding members keep EUR 490, EUR 990 or EUR 1,490 a year when the public rate rises later. Let the listing lapse and the rate goes with it.
Can a paid listing change what my record says?
Anything wrong can be corrected on any tier, free. What paying does not buy is a different evidence grade or the quiet deletion of a field. The grade follows the source, not the invoice.
How do I pay?
There is no checkout here. Send the enquiry, and the reply confirms the slot is open, shows what it will look like on your page and carries an invoice with payment terms. Nothing is charged until you have seen the page.
What happens if a competitor takes Featured in my category while I am Category Partner?
Category Partner is the only presented-by line on that page. Featured slots stay available underneath it and are capped at three per category. Both are labelled and neither touches the alphabetical list.
What if the traffic never arrives?
From the end of month three, every paid page gets a monthly figure by email: sessions, search impressions and outbound clicks to your website. If your category page has not delivered 500 sessions across the twelve months of your term, the next year is free. There is nothing to claim; it gets checked and you get written to.
