The reason why some directories are not showing in the Directories overview for a location is because the location has been classified as a Service-Area Business (SAB), also known as having a Hidden Address.
A Service-Area Business offers services directly at the customer's location instead of at their registered business address. Because the actual location of the business is hidden, some directories do not support this functionality.
Some directories that do not support a hidden address are:
- acompio
- All In-Dash Navigation providers (HERE, TomTom, Nokia, etc.)
- Apple Maps
- Business Branchenbuch/Unternehmensauskunft
- eLocal (including CitySearch and Insider Pages)
- Foursquare
- Go Local/Meinungsmeister
- Infogroup
- MeineStadt
- Navmii
- Öffnungszeitenbuch
- Trip Advisor
- wogibtswas
- Waze
- List is subject to change due to directories changing their functionalities on a regular basis
