Promote your products and send offers to potential customers using the tool available exclusively for GV Plus companies.
You can optimise your company's search position in two ways: actively (you'll have to work a little, but it's free!) or passively (you can be at the top of search results without lifting a finger if you subscribe to the GV PRO service).
We incorporate three important features: geolocation of your business in search results, positioning your products at the top of results, and redesign of the related companies' module.
GuíaVerde now incorporates a powerful statistical tool to monitor the visits to your company and your products on GuíaVerde in real time. GV Analytics provides monthly charts of visits to your business listing and products, visits to your news and corporate events, clicks on your website and company e-mail, etc. Discover this new tool for your online marketing.
If your company already appears in the GuíaVerde directory you can now get the Collaborating Company label and link your brand to Spain's leading portal for the ornamental horticulture and gardening sector. You also improve your ranking and results in GuíaVerde and also in Google.
Reaching potential customers in a directory of over 9,500 companies in the sector can be difficult, as companies compete for the top positions in search results. But you can promote your business and make it easier to find with the GV PRO service.
More informationDo you have any doubt about how the GuíaVerde works? You don't know how to use any of its functions? Are you new on GuíaVerde? ... Then we recommend you to consult this site; it will dispel your doubts. If you cannot find the right answer, just ask us through this form.
In the GuíaVerde you will find the biggest directory of gardening and ornamental horticulture companies and products in Spain and Portugal. You could follow the news of the green sector in the news section and the actualized event programme of the sector. Besides, our platform contains a garden, terrace and interior plants guide with more than 3.500 references, all of them with pictures, descriptions and the most relevant characteristics.
It is not necessary because anonymous users can consult all available information on the platform. However, if you register yourself (for free), you will have much more options to make the most out of the GuíaVerde. For instance, you could comment news, events and plants, share your plant pictures or value products… Moreover, you will have a private control panel, where you could easily save your companies, products, events and favourite plants. You will also have an intern mailbox to contact with GuíaVerde companies, send and receive estimates, ask for more information on a specific product...
Very important: if you want to publish your company and your products, you could only do it if you register first.
Remember that registering is for free… and really easy. You just have to click on the 'User Area' button (under the head), access the registration site and fill in the required data on the form called 'Register'. You should fill in at least the required fields, that is to say, the ones marked with an asterisk (*). And remember to write down your password and keep it so you can access the GuíaVerde as a registered user. Your e-mail is also really important and should work properly too, because once you send the form, you will receive an e-mail to that e-mail account with a link where you will have to click to complete the registration.
If you forget your password, you just have to provide us with the e-mail address you used to register as a user. We will send you an e-mail with the new random password that you could change subsequently.
Creating a company in the GuíaVerde is also for free. The first thing that you have to do is register yourself (see previous section). After that, you just have to log in to your e-mail account and access the private control panel. Having done that, click on 'Publish your company' in the left column.
Before publishing your company, you should check that the company hasn't been registered in the GuíaVerde yet. To do that, you can use the form, filling in the name, country and province where it is located. If your company is not to be found on the result list, you can create it.
Remember that if you subscribe to any of the Positioning Plans your company will have greater presence in the platform, increase your commercial possibilities and manage the communication of your company in a professional manner. See Positioning Plans
First of all, insert the head office of your company and locate it on the Google map. You can also add a postal address. After that, insert the company general data on the tab called 'General Information'. There you can also write a general description of the company, add the brands your work with, sort out your activity in different subsectors and upload the logotype and up to 2 pictures of your installations, as well as upload products on you catalogue area.
To publish products, you should have created your company (see previous section). Access your control panel and click on the button 'My Company' on the left column, and the on the tab 'Product Catalogue' on the central area. If you are a free company, you could also publish up to 3 products. But if you turn into a GV PRO company, you could have an unlimited catalogue.
You can add the name of every product, its description, 5 key words that define it and a picture of it, as well as classifying it in the predefined categories. Don't forget to fill in the keywords: they are really important because they will allow users reach your product. The GV PRO companies can also publish their PDF catalogues.
Many of the GuíaVerde companies come form the COSAGRO Directory, so it may occur that your company has already been published. In that case, you should register as a user and access your private control panel. Once there, click on 'Publish your company'. Insert the name of your company and chose the country and the province on the form 'Verify Company'. Once you click on 'Search', a list with the possible matching companies will pop up. If your company is on the list, click on 'My Company'. The GuíaVerde team will verify that you are an authorized person to administer the company on the platform and we will proceed to activate your company record in your user account. From that moment on, you could start updating your business data and publishing your products and services.
Nota importante: Al hacer clic en el botón "Mi empresa", usted nos garantiza que es una persona autorizada por la propia empresa para gestionar sus datos en GuíaVerde. Recuerde que, bajo ningún concepto, debe hacerse pasar por otra persona ni provocar daños en la imagen de una empresa. Tenga en cuenta que esto puede tener repercusiones penales.
Users can look for companies and products using different search criteria: geography (country, province or town), name of the company or product, activity (nursery, gardening centres, garden furniture…) or key words (seeds, cuttings, fertilizers...).
When a user makes a search, the system finds out the matching companies and products with the search criteria and offers them as results. To position the results and decide which ones will pop up first and which one will pop up last, the system uses an algorithm which 'awards' companies with the highest activity on the platform, giving more importance to the companies with actualized and completed data, to the ones that have published more products, pictures, press releases and events, to the ones that have had more visits, etc. The key to get more visibility and stand out from the rivals is… Get everything out of all possibilities that GuíaVerde offers you!
Companies count moreover with another way of positioning their results on the first places to get more visibility and business possibilities. It is the prepaid GV Plus service (see last section). Companies contracting this service will be always positioned above free companies even though the latest have more activity on the platform.<
GV Pro is the "premium" service for the companies in the GuíaVerde. Companies which contract this service are able to stand out from free companies and become more attractive for potential customers. These are some of the advantages:
Your company can use other ways of promoting its products and services:
Product promotion is one of the most interesting functions of the GV Plus service, because it allows sending offers of your products to users and companies of the GuíaVerde. For instance, you can publish a promotion to let potential customers know that you have a product with a great discount just for a couple of days. This way you can sell the products you have in stock.
Basically, the process of sending a promotion consists of choosing one of the available products on your GuíaVerde catalogue, defining the validity period of the offer, describing what the offer is about and choosing which group of users or companies you want to send it to (you can even sector the companies according to their activity). When you send a promotion, the addressee becomes it via e-mail and in their intern mailbox.
The option 'Publish Promotion' will appear on the left column of your control panel after having contracted the GV PRO Plan.
Only registered users can use this service. In the mailbox of your control panel you can find the messages you have either sent or received using the GuíaVerde platform. For instance, other users and companies could contact you accessing your company record and using the form 'Send a comment' that they will find on the right column. Once they've done it, you will immediately receive the contact request to your 'Inbox', and you will be able to answer them.
Don't forget to check your mailbox periodically, because you might receive many business opportunities that you shouldn't let go.
My favourites are personalized lists that allow registered users to save the most interesting contents they find while surfing the GuíaVerde. This way you won't have to repeat searches in the future, because you just need to access them from your control panel. You can save your favourite companies, events or plants. You will find the option 'Add to Favourites' under the 'Options' bar any time you visualize a specific content.
GuíaVerde has lots of functions to share and spread contents, and interact with platform users. One of the most interesting functions for companies is the option 'Recommend my Company', that you will see on the left column of your control panel. With it you will be able to send a personalized text to 5 e-mail addresses, inviting them to discover your company in the GuíaVerde.
Other functions to share contents are 'Send to a Friend' and 'Share on Social Networks'.
Only registered users have access to all these functions.
Of course! When publishing your own company, you could access these options from your control panel. Remember that the more news you publish, the higher punctuation your company will get, and the better visibility it will have on the platform.
