Cyclex have listed my company without permission, as a result I'm getting a lot of email for quotes well outside the scope of the services we provide, and with no easy way to opt out.
Very bottom of the email:
'You received this email because you have a business profile on Cylex created based on information from publicly accessible sources ...'
Basically they trawl the internet for companies to harass, very poor practice.
OMake sure you don't give them a penny.

Hello!
Thank you for your feedback.
The information we have can come from publicly accessible sources, business owners, or one of our partners.
The listing can be claimed anytime by using the "Claim this business" button, or if you don't own the business, we have a "Report incorrect data" button as well on your company profile.
We have millions of listings, which we try to keep up-to-date, but as you can imagine, this is not always so easy. This is why we encourage everyone to manage their own listing.
Our services are free, and we try to offer support (by email, social media, etc.) to all of our customers.
On each page, at the bottom, we have an About us section and all our social media pages. If you click on either of them, we always answer all the requests as soon as possible.
Our goal is to help you promote your business, connect with other businesses, and most importantly, stay in touch with your customers.
Please let us know how we can help you, and we will sort it out as soon as possible.
If you would rather have the listing removed from our database, please let us know, and we will delete it.
Thank you for your feedback, and we hope you will reconsider your rating.
Have a lovely day ahead.
All the best,
The Cylex Team
Unauthorised Listing of My Business
Cylex has listed my company on their website without my permission. So far it's been impossible to find a phone number to talk to anyone about it.

This company listed my business without my consent.
Wrong address, wrong opening hours! And somehow they included my private mobile number.
Not only does the incorrect information look extremely unprofessional to my clients.
It puts me in danger to a member of the public.
So thanks.

Hello,
Thank you for your review.
On each business profile, under each review, there is a button named ‘Report abuse’. There, you can tell us why you’re reporting the review and how it violates our guidelines. Only CYLEX employees will see your report.
Also, at the bottom of each page, there is a link to the contact page, named ‘Contact CYLEX’
We are really sorry you could not find any of the buttons.
Our services are free, and we try to offer support (by email, social media, etc.) to all of our customers. If you use either of them, we always answer all the requests.
Please send us the name of your business or the link for its Cylex profile and we will investigate the reviews you mention.
Have a great day ahead.
Best regards,

I had an issue with the Listing for my company. I sent a request for support to their email address, and I thought it would be one of those things that I never hear back from.
But then, within about 3 mins, I had a response! They did everything I asked, and even provided further help on a few things.
I was surprised. And I would recommend them

updating profile apparently not working - a glitch
Spent what seemed like an hour attempting to update a Lingfield Equine Distance Learning business listing/profile. It was simply a change of address and new info about the business. It just didn't seem to work and on completion of the new info, it would not 'save' the new information when I clicked 'save'. I could find no way to contact. Having reviewed on here I had contact from them and repeated the exercise which worked. FINALLY therefore we have up to date address on Cyclex. Thank you.

We are really glad you had a good service experience with one of our registered companies.
That is why we believe they would really appreciate if you could post this review on their profile as well since it is clearly meant for them and not for us, the business directory where they are registered.

False information
I had a phone call asking about my B&B. I moved 10 years ago, my old house was pulled down and I stopped doing B&B!
When I googled B&B in Walton on Thames up came a picture of my old home! The ad said it had been checked 2 years previously......! Cylex obviously has a very odd way of “checking” the truth of the contents on it’s site.
It seems to be impossible to actually contact the company by phone ... but, as they DO seem to reply to negative reviews..... please can I have that that totally misleading advert removed!

Do the planet a favour turn the servers off.
It's the same terrible review process as Google. No one has proved who they are or if they have used the business, incredibly difficult to have a review removed. Hiding behind a really poor policy that typically says they don't do a thing.
I have nothing against bad reviews, in fact, if used correctly can be really constructive. But when they have an agenda the business should be able to have them removed. Or at least remove from the overall score.
Thanks for the feedback cylex it is much appreciated. Also a little disturbing how far you will probe into someone who provides a negertive review.
In the particular instance you refer, how can a meaningful review response be given to something that happened over 2 years ago. The review to which you refused to remove is part of a campaign of disruption. You have mearly allowed it to perpetuate.
Really all that cylex are interested in is driving traffic to the site where advertising space can be sold for a premium, at the expense if an unfortunate business that quite possibly never requested to be part of your directory.
You have even managed to prove my theory on the traffic as you have very skillfully managed to link back to your own site. Fabulous work. Well done! But after carefully reviewing your response, again for which I am grateful, also for the lesson in how to respond. The 1 star review will remain.

Hello!
Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to hear this.
During our investigation we found out that you have reported a review because you dispute the reviewer’s description of events, namely this review https://braintree.cylex-uk.co.uk/company/smart-service-solutions-26384936.html
Our colleagues sent you an email where they’ve asked you to post a reply to that review because based on your email address and name, they could not determine that you represent the business in case. Hence, you can’t confirm or deny what the review actually states. Cylex provides a space for reviewers to share their opinions. But because we’re not a court of law, we’re not in a position to decide what is factually correct or incorrect.
We solve each abuse report individually based on the information provided. In our experience, direct dialogue in a friendly tone between companies and reviewers is often the best way to resolve any issues.
By having a business online, you can’t stop people from writing reviews. The only thing you can do is to try to deal with them. No one wants to get negative reviews, but they sometimes happen. Promptly responding to negative reviews shows the customer that you care and value their opinion. It may also be the catalyst that results in a person who had an unpleasant experience with your business, giving you a second chance.
We are really sorry about your experience. If you wish we can open up the lines of communication with the reviewer or you can post a comment explaining publicly your point of view, which would help potential customers see both sides of the story. With that in mind, here’s how a business should respond to negative reviews to make the most out of an otherwise unpleasant situation.
* Acknowledge and Apologize
* Add a Touch of Specificity
* Move the Situation Offline
* Keep it Short and to the point
Nowadays, negative reviews are a fact of life in the digital age. Don’t let a few critical or even unreasonable reviews stress you out. Rather, respond as calmly as possible, listen to constructive criticism and do everything you can to accumulate more positive reviews.
Please let us know what you have decided by emailing info@cylex-uk.co.uk and we assure you that someone will handle as soon as possible this matter.
Taken into consideration all of the above, we really hope you will reconsider your rating.
Should you need any more help, please let us know.
Have a great day ahead.
Best regards,
The Cylex Team!
