How It Works

Local discovery system

How Local Connection Works

Visitors find nearby businesses, compare trusted profiles, use active deals, and contact the right owner. Businesses get a structured path to publish, promote, and measure local visibility.

01

Search

Use categories, locations, keywords, ratings, and availability to narrow the directory.

02

Compare

Review badges, photos, reviews, hours, pricing, FAQs, and direct contact details.

03

Connect

Open a profile, claim an offer, call, message, or save a business for later.

For local customers

Find the right business without wandering

The browsing flow keeps the directory practical: start broad, narrow by location or category, compare the details, then take action.

Search locally

Start with a service, keyword, category, location, or open-now need.

Narrow by place

Move from all results into locations, tags, or category archive pages.

Compare trust signals

Use reviews, profile photos, badges, hours, FAQs, and business details.

Use a deal

Open an active coupon or promotion and continue to the connected listing profile.

For businesses

A clear path from signup to local visibility

Business owners can move through the site in order: create the account, choose the right visibility plan, complete the listing profile, then use promotions and analytics to keep improving.

Built around the active Directorist system.

The public pages explain the flow while the actual directory, listing forms, pricing, reviews, business hours, and promotions remain powered by the installed system.

Step 01

Create the business account.

Start the owner workspace so the listing and dashboard have the correct account owner.

Step 02

Choose the visibility plan.

Compare Bronze, Silver, and Gold so payment configuration can map cleanly to the client plan rules.

Step 03

Complete the listing profile.

Add category, location, photos, contact details, business hours, FAQs, and listing information.

Step 04

Promote and measure activity.

Use promotions, reviews, analytics, and dashboard actions to keep the business profile useful.

System structure

What keeps the experience useful

These pieces connect the public browsing experience with owner-side management, so the website can support the mobile app phase later.

Trust and badges

Verified Business, Gold Partner, reviews, and profile signals help visitors judge listings faster.

Owner communication

Business profiles can carry phone, email, live chat, FAQs, hours, and claim/listing workflows.

App-ready data

Categories, locations, profiles, deals, and analytics are structured for the next mobile product phase.
