The market behind the listing

One directory, one country, one audience

ITSBETTER is not a global marketplace. It covers one market and covers it properly — which is exactly why a buyer in Stuttgart or Hamburg opens it when a supplier drops out and a second source is needed by Friday.

Where the buyers sit

Germany’s industrial regions, by listings

Purchasing does not happen in one capital. It happens in Stuttgart, in the Ruhr area, around Munich — in the six states below sit more than half of all companies in this directory.

Baden-Württemberg 153.493
Nordrhein-Westfalen 152.977
Bayern 142.670
Niedersachsen 76.606
Hessen 62.838
Sachsen 55.804

What they look for

Buyers search for a process, not for a company name

Nobody types your company name into this directory — they have never heard it. They type the thing they need. That is why your industry category and your search terms decide whether you are found, and why we translate your material into the words a German engineer actually uses.

Ten of 1.765 industry categories, each one a page a buyer can land on from Google.

Suppliers from outside Germany, already listed

Real listings and product pages from companies that export to Germany – shown exactly as a German buyer sees them.

How it works

Four steps, one working day

  1. 1
    Send us your details

    Company name, address, contact, one industry category and a short description. The form takes about five minutes. Your address goes in as it is — country, region and postal code have their own fields, in any format.

  2. 2
    We check it

    A person reads every submission before it goes online. We verify that the company exists, that the category fits and that the contact details work. This usually takes one working day.

  3. 3
    Your listing goes live

    Your company appears under its industry category, in the location index and in the search. German buyers reach you directly — by phone, e-mail or through the enquiry form. No commission, no lead fee.

  4. 4
    Add more if you want

    A basic listing stays free for as long as you want it. If you decide to show products, more categories or your logo, you can upgrade at any time. Nothing you entered is lost.

A real listing

This is what it looks like

Not a mock-up — a live listing from a supplier outside Germany, shown exactly as a German buyer sees it.

Baoji Talent Hi-tech Titanium Industry Co., Ltd. Baoji, ShaanxiCN Metallwaren

Contact details, opening hours, products and an enquiry form — all on one page, in German, reachable from the category and location indexes.

What this is not

A directory, not a marketplace

If you have listed on a global B2B platform before, the difference matters. Here nobody bids against you, nobody sells your enquiry twice, and nothing is deducted from a deal you close.

No commission on your orders

We are not part of your transaction. A buyer who finds you here contacts you directly — by phone, e-mail or through the form on your page. What you agree is between the two of you.

No lead fees, no pay-per-click

Enquiries are not sold and not auctioned. You pay for a listing, once a year, or nothing at all — and never per contact.

Your origin is stated, not hidden

Country and city appear on your profile, in every result list and in the structured data Google reads. Buyers who look for a supplier abroad do it on purpose; hiding it would cost you the ones who mean it.

Read by a person before it goes live

Every submission is checked by our editors — the company, the category, the contact details. That is why a German buyer trusts what is in here, and why your listing sits next to real companies, not scraped rows.

German text, written for you

Send your English material. Our editors turn it into the German a purchasing department searches with — process names, materials, standards. Included in every plan, including the free one.

Leave whenever you want

One e-mail and the listing is deleted, not hidden. Paid plans run twelve months and never renew by themselves; we write to you before they end.

Straight answers

Things worth knowing before you start

Does my listing have to be in German?
Yes — the people reading it are German purchasing and engineering departments, and they search in German. You do not have to write it yourself: send us your English material and our editors will translate it. That is included, also for free listings.
What does it cost?
A basic listing is free of charge, permanently, with no contract and no renewal. Paid listings start at 475 € per year (net). They run for twelve months and do not renew automatically — we write to you before they expire and you decide.
My address does not fit a German form.
It does not have to. Country, region or province and postal code are separate fields and accept any format — four digits, six digits, letters, or no postal code at all. Your city stays your city.
Who will actually see my listing?
ITSBETTER has been a supplier directory for German industry and trade since 2000. Visitors are buyers looking for a process, a component or a material — not for a company name they already know. That is why the industry category and the search terms matter more than the company name.
Is my country of origin visible?
Yes, clearly. Every listing shows where the company is based — in the profile, in every result list and in the structured data for search engines. We do not hide it, and you should not want us to: buyers who look for a supplier abroad do so deliberately.
Can I be removed again?
At any time, with one e-mail. We delete the listing, not just hide it.

Ready

Five minutes now, visible tomorrow

No payment details, no contract, no automatic renewal. If the form gives you trouble, write to us and we will set the listing up for you.
