How to Add or Claim Your Cylex Business Listing

If you’re looking for information on how to add your business to Cylex or claim an existing listing on the Cylex business directory, you’ve come to the right place!

This guide to adding or claiming your Cylex business listing focuses on Cylex US, but for the most part, the process is the same wherever you are, whether that’s cylex-canada.ca, cylex-uk-.co.uk, or cylex-australia.com. You can see at Cylex’s worldwide directories here.

Ready for our step-by-step guide? Here we go!

How to Add a New Business Listing to Cylex

  1. Firstly, head to https://www.cylex.us.com/ (or find your country’s equivalent, such as cylex-canada.ca or cylex-uk.co.uk). Then log in to your account or, if you do not have one, click ‘Register’:

     

    Cylex Home Page

  2. Add the email address you would like to use for this account (we recommend using the business email matching your business website URL) or select the option to continue with Google or Facebook accounts.

    Make sure to agree to the T&Cs before proceeding.
  3. Add your name and password:

  4. Once you register, Cylex will need to verify your email. They will email you the code that you will need to enter into the field on the screen:

     

    Cylex Verify Your Email

  5. Once verified, you will be redirected to your account page. To add your business page click on the “Add your business” button:

     

    Cylex Add Your Business

  6. From here, you simply need to add the information asked at each step:

    1. Start with a zip code:

       

      Cylex Zip Code

    2. Once the zip code is added, a new field will appear automatically for the business name: start typing the name, and you will see some suggestions appear. If they don’t match your business, select the first option that offers to create a business page using the name you just added:

    3. A few next steps will require adding optional data – Website URL and Facebook page. You can skip them if you do not have those or do not wish to add them to your listing:

       

      Cylex Business Website URL
      Cylex Facebook URL

    4. Next, you must choose whether to display your full address on the listing or hide it. You still need to provide the full business address in both cases; however, switching between both options will show you the listing preview page on the right-hand side:

      1. Show business address & map to customers:

      2.  Hide business address & map from customers:

         

        Cylex Hide Business Address and Map from Customers

    5. Once you add your address, the next page will display the location’s coordinates. These are mandatory and are generated automatically, but if they are incorrect, you can amend them by dragging the map pin to the correct location:
