      Note that you must enter the address in the format "house number, street name, (optional: local area or village name), city, postcode" or "property name, street name, (optional: local area or village name), city, postcode".
    3. Extra address line (optionally): If necessary, enter an extra address line so that your customers can find you more easily. E.g. rear building on the 2nd floor.

    3. More images: Add up to 4 more images.
      Note: Please note that some directories only display one image per entry. In this case, only your main image is then displayed.
    4. Click Save.
  6. Click the Company Description section and enter then the following:
    1. Short description: Add a short description of your company, as well as your products or services. The short description is important because some online directories do not accept long texts.

    3. Keywords: Enter the keywords your customers can search for in online directories to find your company, as well as your products or services.
