How Eqlynk works.

Every store is added by a real person — usually a community member who has visited or knows the shop, or our team verifying a submission. We don't let a model crawl the web and dump results into the directory. Curation is slower that way, but the listings are more honest.

We use modern tools where they genuinely help us stay accurate — for example, helping clean up imported data or flagging inconsistencies. But no shop ends up on Eqlynk because an AI said so. A person decides.

A personally verified shop is one a member of the Eqlynk team has visited, ordered from, or directly confirmed with the owner. It's our highest level of confidence — and it's how we mark the shops we'd send a friend to without hesitation.

Honestly? Imperfectly, but earnestly. Stores open, close, relocate, and pivot — sometimes faster than any directory can keep up with. We rely on the community to send us updates, and we review submissions as quickly as we can. If you spot something off, please tell us.

Probably because no one's told us about it yet. Sign in and submit it — bonus points if you can include the address, website, and a sentence or two about what makes it special.

Sign in (or create a free account) and head to Submit a Store. You'll add the basics — name, location, website, what kind of shop it is — and any extra context you want to share. We'll review and publish it.

Yes. The simplest path right now is to create an account and submit an update through the store page, or email us at contact@eqlynk.com from a business-associated email. We're working on a more polished claim flow — bear with us.

On any store page you can submit an update. If you'd rather email, contact@eqlynk.com works too — just let us know which store and what needs changing.

Usually a few days. Eqlynk is small and curated by humans, so review speed depends on how many shops are in the queue. We promise we read every one.

Save your favorite stores, build shareable lists, submit new shops, suggest updates, and get a profile page that's yours to organise.

Carefully and minimally. We collect what we need to run your account and nothing we don't. Full details live in our Privacy Policy.

Yes — email contact@eqlynk.com and we'll handle it. Account deletion removes your personal data within 30 days.

No. Inclusion in the directory is not pay-to-play. Stores can run promotions on the promotions page, but being listed is independent of any commercial relationship.

Yes — reach out at contact@eqlynk.com and we'll walk you through how it works.

More stores, more regions, better tools for trip-planning and local discovery, and a smoother experience for the shop owners who want to participate. If you have ideas, we'd love to hear them.
