Frequently asked questions
I run a price-comparison site that links out to shops: is that 63.91.00 or one of the editorial codes?
Yes, it is 63.91.00. A price and product-specification comparator that generates links to other sites falls here, together with portals with a search engine. What matters is that you manage the index and the links without being responsible for third-party content. If, on the other hand, the site does not search but produces or aggregates news and reviews, look at 63.92.00.
Vertical search engine plus hosting: does the web search portal fall under 63.91.00 or the hosting code?
Usually 63.91.00 covers the operation of the search portal itself — the searchable index and the results. If what you are selling is the machine underneath — servers, space, and infrastructure for third parties — that is 63.10.10. The deciding factor is what the portal actually invoices for: the search service to the user or the technical provision.
I build the search engine on commission for a client: do I stay on 63.91.00?
No, if you write the software for the client you are in development, i.e. 62.10.00. 63.91.00 applies when you operate the search portal and offer it to users yourself — not when you program the engine that someone else will use.
