Frequently asked questions
Answers about listing a business, plans, claims and using Davao Corporate.
Which places are in the directory?
We started in Davao City and are expanding in stages: Davao Region, then Mindanao, then nationwide. Our long-term goal is an international corporate directory. Today the directory covers Davao City: barangay halls, LGU and city offices, police stations, churches, mosques, parks, and branches of national agencies such as NBI, DPWH, DSWD, DOST, DOH, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG and SSS.
Why do some entries say Unverified?
We add well-known offices first, then confirm the address, phone and hours. Verified entries have been checked. If you see a mistake, use the Suggest an entry button or email us.
How do I list my business for free?
Choose the Basic plan, enter your business name, category and district, and submit. We review every listing, usually within two working days.
What is the difference between Verified and Featured?
Verified adds your logo, gallery, hours, links, a Verified badge and a Request a quote button. Featured includes everything in Verified, plus first position in your category and district and a homepage slot.
How does payment work?
Paid plans and services are checked out through PayPal. You can pay with your PayPal balance or a card. The payment goes to our PayPal business account, and we send a receipt to your email.
Can I pay monthly, yearly or once?
Yes. Each plan and sponsored service can offer Monthly, Yearly and Permanent terms. Permanent is a one-time payment with no renewal. Available terms are shown on each card.
What is an anchor link insertion?
We add your link, with the anchor text you choose, inside a relevant existing article on this site. You pick the link type and the term, and we publish it after your payment.
What is the difference between sponsored, nofollow and dofollow links?
Sponsored links carry rel="sponsored" and nofollow links carry rel="nofollow". Both tell search engines the link is paid or untrusted. A dofollow link is a standard link. Google asks that paid links be marked, so Sponsored or Nofollow is the safer choice.
Can I publish a guest post?
Yes. Order a Guest article, tell us your topic and bio, and our editors will review it. It is published under the Guests category with one link and a sponsored label.
How do quote requests work?
Verified and Featured listings show a Request a quote button. Requests go to the business and to our team so we can follow up. Any per-lead terms are agreed in advance.
Can I cancel or get a refund?
Monthly plans can be cancelled before the next billing date. Yearly plans are not refunded after the first 14 days. Permanent plans and published sponsored content are not refundable.
Do paid links help my SEO?
They bring readers and referral traffic to you, and they are labeled as required. Treat them as visibility, not a ranking shortcut.
How do I fix a wrong phone number or address?
Email us the correction with the name of the listing. We confirm it and update the entry, and mark it Verified.
