Cylex vs Houzz

Cylex operates online business directories that help people find local services and help businesses promote their offerings. Profiles can show maps and route planning, opening hours, prices, menus, product and service catalogs, brochures, and leaflets. Users can read and write company reviews and request free quotes matched with relevant local businesses. For local search work, Cylex offers listing management, Google keyword tracking, AI-powered business descriptions, and a Local SEO Grid on PRO. Standard syncs with Google and Facebook; PRO also syncs with Apple, Bing, Instagram, and X. Bulk Upload accepts XLSX files and publishes listings across Cylex and affiliated directories including FindOpen and Firmania. Uploads below 10 entries incur a $10.00 processing fee; uploads of 10 or more do not. The business listing and Local SEO Standard plans each cost nothing. Local SEO PRO costs $20 a month per location. Cylex was founded in 1997 and is headquartered in Oradea, Romania.
