The German Yellow Pages business directory. A basic entry is free and is submitted through the platform’s own entry service, after which it is passed to the regionally responsible Gelbe Seiten publisher for editorial review — so an entry is requested rather than published directly.
Domain Rating is a dated Ahrefs snapshot of domain authority. PetroHrys Score is an independent editorial assessment of the directory’s practical business value. They are separate measurements and are never combined. Domain Rating values are dated historical Ahrefs snapshots. Domain Rating is a dated historical measurement of the shared domain, not an assessment of this individual registry page. New measurements are not collected because the Research Center does not depend on mandatory authenticated APIs. Where several registries are published on one measured domain they repeat that domain’s single dated snapshot rather than each carrying a figure of its own. Domain Rating is a third-party metric produced by their respective providers, not by PetroHrys.com. Each recorded value carries its provider and the date it was measured, and describes the domain that was measured rather than one page on it. No source has been consulted for authority score, estimated traffic and referring domains, so they are not published for any record.
A basic entry is free and the operator says so plainly: “Ein kostenloser Grundeintrag bei Gelbe Seiten beinhaltet grundlegende Firmendaten wie die Firmenadresse, Telefonnummer und Öffnungszeiten.”
Submissions are editorially reviewed rather than published automatically, which is unusual among free directories and works against spam.
The regionally responsible publisher is named as the party that receives and checks the data, so there is an accountable human process behind an entry.
Corrections to an existing entry can be requested from within the entry itself.
Limitations
An entry is a REQUEST, not a publication. The operator states that submitted data “werden an den für Ihre Region zuständigen Gelbe Seiten Verlag geschickt. Dort erfolgt eine redaktionelle Prüfung.”
Creating an entry is confirmed; taking control of an existing third-party entry is not. Changes to an existing entry are requested through the publisher, which is a correction route rather than an established claim of ownership, so no claim flow is asserted here.
The operator does not document whether verification is required or by what method, so nothing about verification is asserted.
The operator does not document a review system or owner responses on the pages consulted, so neither is asserted. Absence here means unrecorded, not unavailable.
A listing is a directory entry. It is not evidence that a business is solvent, currently trading, or has been checked beyond the publisher’s editorial review of the submitted data.
Submitted data is sent to the regionally responsible Gelbe Seiten publisher, where it undergoes editorial review before appearing.
Best for
German local businesses wanting a free listing in a long-established national directory.
Building a German local citation with a named regional publisher behind it.
Not recommended for
Anyone needing an entry to appear immediately. Every submission goes to a regional publisher for editorial review first.
Businesses outside Germany. The entry service is organised around German regional publishers.

Establishing required submission assets requires submitting a listing and observing the result. That has not been done for any directory in this dataset, so it is not published rather than estimated.

The PetroHrys Score is a first-party editorial assessment, not a third-party
authority metric. It is the weighted sum of the ten factors above, divided by ten, so the number
on this page is reproducible from the values shown. Each factor is scored from 0 to 10 by a human reviewer and weighted as shown. The definitions describe what was weighed, not a rubric: no threshold or formula maps a directory onto a value, and two reviewers could reach different numbers. The score is reproducible from the factors shown on every record, but it is an editorial judgement, not a measurement.
