Everything built in.
Six core features that work together to help your directory attract traffic, convert businesses and generate revenue.
Organic traffic without ad spend
Every listing gets its own URL, schema markup, and meta tags. Google indexes your directory and sends buyers. First-page rankings within 60–90 days.
Revenue on autopilot from day one
Free, featured, and premium listing tiers with Stripe recurring billing. Businesses self-upgrade — you collect without chasing invoices.
Search that converts visitors to listers
Radius search, interactive maps, multi-level categories. Fast discovery means more sign-ups and more paying listers.
Reviews that give listers a reason to pay
Each review creates indexed content Google loves. Strong profiles drive enquiries — giving businesses a direct reason to upgrade.
Unclaimed listings become leads
Claim flows and automated email alerts turn unclaimed entries into warm inbound leads. The directory markets itself.
You control everything
Full CMS access from day one. Add categories, adjust pricing, manage listings — all without a developer.

Common questions answered.
How much does a directory website cost?
Most directory platforms start from $8,000 AUD depending on the features required, the number of listing tiers, and the complexity of search or maps functionality. During the strategy call we scope your directory and provide a fixed price before the call ends.
How long does the build take?
Most directory platforms are delivered within 4–8 weeks depending on the features and integrations required. You’ll see the platform develop step-by-step and approve everything before launch.
Do I own the website after launch?
Yes. Once the directory launches, you own everything — the code, the database, the domain and the platform itself. There are no lock-in contracts or ongoing platform fees to us.
How does Stripe billing work for listings?
Listings can be monetised through Stripe recurring billing, allowing businesses to subscribe to free, featured or premium listing tiers. Payments are automated so you don’t need to manually invoice businesses.
Do I need technical knowledge to run a directory?
No. Your directory includes a full content management system (CMS) so you can add listings, update categories, change pricing and manage users without needing a developer.
How do directories rank on Google?
Each listing receives its own SEO-optimised page with structured data and clean URLs. As businesses add content and reviews, your directory builds authority and can rank for local and niche searches.
Can the directory grow over time?
Yes. The platform is built to scale. You can add new categories, locations, listing tiers, features or integrations as your directory grows and attracts more businesses.
What happens after the strategy call?
If the project is a good fit, we define the scope, features and final build price. Once approved, we begin planning and development to launch your directory platform.
