Listing Policy

Last updated: October 14, 2026

This policy explains how provider listings are added, ranked, corrected, and removed on CommercialCoffeeMachineService.com, an independent directory operated by Directory Holdings.

Listing Tiers

The directory offers two public listing tiers: Basic and Featured. Basic listings are eligible to appear in search results and on category pages at no charge. Featured listings receive priority placement and additional profile features in exchange for a paid subscription. Payment affects visibility and profile features only — it does not determine factual accuracy, verification status, or whether a listing is eligible to be indexed.

Eligibility

To be listed, a business must offer a relevant commercial coffee equipment service in the United States or Canada, maintain a live official website, and provide at least one public contact method. Listings that cannot be associated with a genuine company logo or a verifiable business identity are not published.

Ranking and Order

Featured listings are shown first, followed by Basic listings. Within each tier, listings are not ranked by quality, review score, or merit. The directory does not publish a quality ranking, and "Featured" status does not imply that a provider is better than a Basic-listed provider. See our Verification Methodology for what "verified" does and does not mean.

Indexation

Eligible Basic listings are crawlable and indexable regardless of payment status. A listing is not excluded from search engines solely because it is unpaid. Draft, pending, or rejected listings are not published and are not included in the sitemap.

Claiming a Listing

A listed business may claim its profile through the "Is This Your Company?" section on its profile page or the Get Listed page. A claim request creates an administrative review task — it does not instantly transfer ownership or publish changes. Claiming a listing based only on a matching email domain is not sufficient; Directory Holdings verifies the claim before granting edit access.

Corrections

If you find inaccurate information on a listing, report it through the Contact page. We will review the report and update the listing where appropriate.

Removal

A listing may be removed if the business is no longer operating, the website is no longer live, the business no longer offers a relevant service, or the listing information cannot be verified. A provider may also request removal of its listing at any time through the Contact page. Removed listings are excluded from the directory and the sitemap.
