What happens after you register
Registration starts with your company details, the trades you cover and the areas you serve, since those decide which requests reach you. Complete profiles, with a description of your work, photos of finished projects and clear contact details, are the ones homeowners shortlist. Keeping your service area realistic matters more than covering the whole country: travel time is part of your cost.
After registration, requests arrive with the description, location and timing the homeowner provided. Replying quickly, asking for the missing details and saying clearly when a job falls outside your scope all build the record that clients see. You stay in control of which requests you answer, and you can update trades, coverage and availability whenever your workload changes.
Who can be listed in the directory
The vert.lu directory brings together authorised companies active in the building and energy trades in Luxembourg: heating, insulation, photovoltaics, electrical work, charging stations, ventilation, and related trades. A company must hold a valid business permit (autorisation d'établissement) for the activity it offers and must genuinely operate in the country, or in the cross-border areas it regularly serves.
Listing is intended for companies that already exist as a legal entity, not for individuals or commercial intermediaries with no work of their own. A company may appear under several trade categories if it genuinely carries out those activities and can support that.
What a company profile contains
A profile shows the trading name, the area or areas served, the trade categories, contact details and, where supplied, a description of the activity. Photos of completed jobs and a precise list of services make it easier for homeowners comparing several companies.
The information shown either comes from public sources or is supplied directly by the company. Either way, the information remains the company's own, and it can request a correction or update at any time.
Claiming or creating a profile
If your company already appears in the directory based on public data, you can claim it to take editorial control: complete contact details, add photos, specify services and correct any inaccuracy. If it does not yet appear, listing is done through the dedicated form on the company sign-up page.
Both claiming and creating a profile require proof of activity, for example the business permit number or another document showing the company's legal existence. This check protects both the other companies listed and the homeowners who consult the directory.
How homeowner requests reach a company
When a homeowner describes a project on vert.lu, the request is passed on to companies in the directory whose trade and service area match. A listed company receives these leads directly through the contact details on its profile and remains free to accept, decline, or propose a visit depending on its availability.
The quality of the leads depends directly on the accuracy of the profile: a realistic service area and an up-to-date list of services avoid out-of-area requests and exchanges that go nowhere.
Keeping the profile updated and removing it
A company profile should reflect the company's actual situation: a change of address, service area or contact details, or the end of an activity, should be reported for correction. A company that has claimed its profile can edit it directly; otherwise, an update request goes through the site's contact channels.
A company that no longer wants to appear in the directory can request removal at any time. The request is processed on simple proof of the identity of the company concerned.
Vert.lu pricing: how a directory listing works
Choosing between the plans
The differences between the plans come down to how visible your company is in the directory and how many request notifications you receive. If most of your work already comes from word of mouth, a basic presence that lets clients find and verify you may be enough. If you are building a client base, or entering a new region or trade, the plans with wider exposure and richer profiles do more of that work for you.
Look at your own numbers before deciding: how many enquiries you can realistically answer each month, your average job value, and how far you are willing to travel. A plan pays for itself once it brings in work you would not otherwise have seen, so start with what matches your current capacity and adjust as your workload changes. Plans can be changed later, and your profile content stays with you.
Who the company profiles are for
Vert.lu is aimed at Luxembourg craft companies working in home and energy trades: solar, heat pump, insulation, roofing, façade, joinery, electrics, masonry, sanitary work, garden and small works. Whether you run a small local outfit or a company active across several municipalities, a profile makes you findable by homeowners actively looking for a company for a specific project, at the moment they are searching, rather than through general advertising whose effect is hard to measure.
The underlying principle is the same for every plan: a public profile listing your trades, your coverage area and your contact details, viewed by homeowners who compare several companies before choosing.
What a directory listing brings you
A company profile serves two purposes. First, visibility: it appears in search results by trade and by municipality, positioning you in front of people already engaged in a renovation project. Second, receiving leads: when a homeowner submits a quote request matching your trade and area, it is passed on to you so you can handle it directly, without any further intermediary in the negotiation or pricing.
The quality and completeness of your profile directly affect how much trust visitors place in it: a profile that clearly explains your specialities, shows photos of past work and states a precise coverage area converts better than a minimal one, because it gives the visitor grounds to judge you before the first contact.
Free listing versus paid profile: what changes
A free listing provides basic presence in the directory: your company is listed with essential contact details and its trade. A paid profile expands on this significantly: a fuller company presentation, added photos of past work, more contact channels shown directly on the profile, and access to the quote requests generated by the platform in your trade and area. A paid profile also places your company in a better position when matched with homeowners, in trades where several companies fit the same request.
You remain free to edit your profile at any time, whichever plan you choose, to keep contact details, coverage areas and past work up to date. A well-maintained profile remains a simple but decisive factor for homeowners who quickly compare several companies before requesting quotes.
How quote requests are dispatched
When a homeowner submits a request through goodwork or a trade page, it is matched against directory companies whose trade and coverage area fit. Companies with access to requests are notified and contact the homeowner directly to arrange a site visit or refine their pricing. Vert.lu does not charge any commission on work carried out: the subscription pays for access to the platform and to requests, not a share of the contract signed with the client.
What a company must have to be listed
To appear in the directory, a company needs a valid establishment authorisation for the activity concerned, as well as professional liability insurance suited to its trades. These are conditions for access to the platform and reassure homeowners viewing your profile; they may be requested at registration or during a later check, and their absence can lead to a profile being removed.
Billing and getting started
The paid profile works on the basis of an annual subscription, billed with VAT applied according to the rules in force at the time of billing. No additional commission is charged on quote requests passed on or on contracts signed with homeowners. To get started, create your profile from the craft company registration page, enter your trades, coverage area and contact details, then complete your profile with photos of past work. Once your profile is approved, you start appearing in searches matching your trade and area.
