Turn your listing into a quote machine

Not through the link, and we will say so plainly: it carries the “sponsored” attribute and passes no ranking value. That is deliberate — selling links that do pass value is penalised by Google, and the penalty would hit your site. Your listing itself does rank, however: it gives you a second presence in the results, on queries where your own site may not appear at all.

It has the technical characteristics for it: information published as standardised structured data, text readable without JavaScript, an English version, dated figures. That is what makes a page usable by these systems. But no appearance can be guaranteed, by us or by anyone: those placements are not for sale and the systems change without notice. Anyone promising otherwise is selling you air.

At equal subscription, ranking follows the public criteria described on the Ranking methodology page: how complete the listing is, seniority, and match with the search. A fully detailed listing outranks a premium listing left empty. We do not sell the top spot, and we do not cap the number of premium listings per town either: that would create a windfall for whoever signed first.

You, and the site operator. Other premium workshops matching the same search receive it too — a buyer consults several suppliers, that is what a consultation is. None of them, however, sees that you received it or what you replied.

The form is protected by several anti-robot barriers and every request passes under our eyes before being forwarded. Sales approaches disguised as quote requests are removed. We do not claim to intercept every unwanted message, but you will not receive purchased mailing lists.

Allow half a day for the first pass if you gather your material first: machine list with models and travels, part photos, certifications, brochure. After that, an hour now and then for news and new case studies. This is the main success factor: a detailed listing converts, a half-filled one does not.

You do. You grant us the right to display them on your listing for as long as it is published, nothing more. They are not resold, transferred or reused elsewhere. On a removal request, they are deleted.

That is the default. Your direct contact details do not appear on the public listing. Buyers use the form, which filters automated canvassing and guarantees every contact comes from real intent. You then reply directly to the buyer, with no intermediary.

Never. The subscription is a fixed amount, known in advance, whatever the number of requests received or deals closed. We do not ask the value of your orders and have no way of knowing it. What you sign is entirely yours.

Buyers’ contact details are kept for as long as the request needs processing, then purged automatically according to the periods set out in our privacy policy. They are not resold, transferred to third parties, or used for canvassing. You can request the export or deletion of your own data at any time.

We commit to no volume, and you should be wary of anyone who does. The number depends on your area, your processes and actual market demand at a given time. What we do guarantee is that every request matching your profile is forwarded to you, with no filtering and no priority between subscribers.

The request reaches us and we point the buyer in the right direction. A quote request is never lost, but it is forwarded to Premium listings only: that is precisely what the free tier does not include.

No, and we prefer to say so plainly. A trial period would make no sense for this service: between a listing being indexed by search engines, rising in the results and attracting a first enquiry, several weeks pass. A fifteen-day trial would show nothing and would wrongly suggest the service does not work.

Immediately on the site, as soon as it is activated. In search results, indexing usually takes a few days; ranking, however, builds over several months. That is the normal pace of organic search, and nobody can seriously accelerate it.

Per listing, therefore per site. A group with several production sites has one listing per site, each attached to its own town: that is what allows each workshop to rank in its own area. Write to us for multiple sites.

It reverts to free. It is neither deleted nor unpublished, and your content — photos, documents, case studies — is kept in the database. Premium features close: you no longer receive quote requests and your ranking returns to standard. Renewing reopens everything as it was.

It is above all transparent. The Ranking methodology page sets out the criteria publicly and states in plain terms that payment influences display order, as European platform regulation requires. Free listings remain published, indexed and visible; they are neither hidden nor pushed to the bottom.

Buyers’ contact details never travel by email: the notification tells you a request has arrived, the detail is consulted in your account behind authentication. Your own contact details are not displayed in plain text on your public listing — buyers use the form, which spares you automated canvassing.

Yes, entirely, from your account. Changes go through a review before publication — that is what keeps the directory’s quality up and prevents a listing from turning into an advertisement. Review takes a few working days.

Listings are compiled from publicly available information, as any professional directory does. You can claim yours free of charge to take control of it, request a correction, or ask for its removal by writing to us. Claiming costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

No. The subscription covers the period paid for, six months or a year, and stops at the end of it unless you renew. No automatic payment, no tacit renewal: continuing is your decision.

An invoice is issued for every subscription. The publishing company is not registered for VAT — article 293 B of the French tax code — so the prices shown are the amounts actually due.
