LOCAL BUSINESS DIRECTORY SITES! The ULTIMATE solution! Ready made sites, NOT just a script or theme!
Share on: 
fb share twitter share gplus share more share

Multiple Monetization fully automated DIRECTORY SITES

The sites are live and 100% functional, click pictures to view!

United States:



International (rest of the world):


  • The perfect business model: Directory sites for anywhere in the world!
  • Charge customers monthly and profit from advertisers & affiliates ads too!
  • You can duplicate the two sites above to any location/business category (instructions included), or we can do that for you.
  • You will not start with an empty directory. No addresses to upload manually, entirely automatic! Listings are pulled-in in real time, always updated (no scraping).
  • With ratings, reviews, Google Maps, and FOUR promotion methods (see below).
  • Still WordPress, so your directory site can have a blog, or syndicated content (news), or whatever feature you want to add!
  • With beautiful professional entry form and automatic Paypal payment pre-configured! Get money automatically!!
  • You don’t need to live in the same area, your directory can be anywhere in the world (and multilingual too)!!

How directory sites work and how you can make an unlimited amount of money with them?

Imagine having a site like the one above, a Beauty directory of Naples, Florida. The site shows all related businesses in the area, neatly divided by category. (This could obviously be anything, like attorneys, plumbers, hotels, restaurants, gyms and so on, and, in any location in the world). Since you go ‘local’,

First advantage:
you can get any .com domain name you want, they’re all available (cityname+category, or cityname+category+’directory’ etc.).

Second advantage:
showing up in Google is very easy (how many beauty directories of Naples there are, or…. AshvilleDiners.com for example, or AspenSkiingDirectory.com, BeaufortDentists.com, PhuketHotelsDirectory etc. etc. – these examples are all available unique domains!). Most directory sites show an A-Z category list, you instead will be focusing on business niches!

Third advantage:
easy traffic! Visitors will go to your site looking for an address, map, directions, or possibly reviews, or ratings etc. and that’s exactly what the site offers (along with even more features – as shown – like a blog/articles or real time news etc.).

Fourth advantage:
compared to any other affiliate website, easy money too: diners, dentists, attorneys, hoteliers, etc. etc. will pay you a monthly fee to have their listing featured on your site. This will show above all the other listings. Alternatively you can feature a business with a graphic ad in the sidebar. (The plugin used has two more features not used with the sites above: pop-up boxes and Kontera-style underlined text, linking to your own advertisers of course). So overall four different ways to make paid listings stand out and profit from them, plus, of course, generic affiliate adverts (AdSense etc.) like for all our sites.

Fifth (huge) advantage:
all this is entirely automated since (unlike the majority of directory themes or sites from our competitors):
A) you don’t have to start with an empty directory (that’s where most directory sites fail) or enter listings by hand, you don’t have to scrape them from any ‘yellow pages’ web service and upload them to your site manually. You don’t have to keep them updated. In fact the plugin used is not even a scraper, it uses real time data — and
B) there is a beautiful entry form for businesses to purchase their monthly featured listing, fully automated with Paypal integration. Your only job would be, after you get the advertiser listing via email and payment via Paypal, to add the listing to the page (takes 1 minute obviously, copy/paste, copy/paste).

Sixth advantage:
you can pick your own preferred promotion method; natural website traffic via SEO, or telemarketing (like most yellow pages companies do), or flyers in the post, or even AdWords (it would cost little since you would advertise locally). In addition, each customer you will promote will help since his competitors will also want to be featured.

Seventh and final advantage:
Obviously you don’t have to live in the same location the site is about; you could live in Singapore and have dozens of directories all over the world. You can market anywhere. And that’s the point exactly: you can make multiple (endless) small sites with little effort to quickly increase your income. There is no limit to this business!

If you’ve been struggling with websites and affiliate marketing with worldwide visibility, or even national visibility, you will find out that ‘local’ is much easier.

Let’s see the two sites above in detail.
The plugin we use (we have full developers license and you will get updates for life of course) comes in two flavours: USA and International (rest of the world). As a consequence we’ve made a site for USA and one for Europe (could be anywhere, even in China). They are slightly different, as you can see.

The USA site (Naples, FL) has six categories in the beauty business. It also has reviews from the top menu. It has a blog section with generic articles re:beauty, this could be your blog section if you want, or insights/commentary etc. This has been done to make the site even more visible, and interesting to visitors. Besides standard affiliates (like LinkShare, ClickBank etc.) there are a couple of graphic adverts, 961 Aveda in the sidebar, and Felix Andrew in the footer. These are (fake, not affiliated) adverts linking to real businesses in the area. Local businesses will pay you to have their ads there, or they can, via entry form and Paypal payment, have their listing featured at the top above the others (light-blue section under the map).
If you want to test the plugin with a city or businesses familiar to you, simply click on the ‘?’ symbol from the top menu. You will see all the categories this plugin can pull in (this is automated, we did not design that page). Click on one, like ‘dentists’, you will see all the dentists in Naples. Go to the URL at the top of your browser and change Naples, FL with the location of your choice (like where you live, if in USA), you will see all the dentists in your area. (This feature, the ‘?”, is for demo/testing purposes and will be removed from the site as per instructions).

The ‘rest of the world’ site (Marbella, Spain), since this is a popular touristic location, has restaurants, hotels and golf (Marbella is very famous for its golf courses, Puerto Banús nearby is a unique place in Europe where all the riches go, huge yachts, Ferraris etc). The ‘international’ variation of this plugin shows listings in a slightly different way (with maps) and reviews are not available from the top menu, but under each listing. It is also multi language: English, Spanish, German and Greek (terrific feature). It is also different from the admin panel, but still very easy to implement (full instructions included). This site is also a very powerful aggregator ($60 plugin, updates & support for life), automatically pulling in every day strictly related news (could be from anywhere of course) all of them with picture. This adds interest to the site and also is terrific for SEO. Given the huge amount of money that goes around in Marbella/Costa del Sol, consider the $29 monthly fee (in the ‘Feature your business’ form) just an example, it could easily be 10 times that once the site has traffic. This is the kind of destinations we want to hit, but could be anywhere of course.

HOW TO PURCHASE A DIRECTORY SITE
Even though you can purchase these two sites with domain name (sale page 'Choice A'), unless you are specifically interested in Naples Beauty and Marbella, you should get them without domain name, i.e. as digital downloads (note: these are limited editions of 12). See sale page 'Choice B'. In your download you will find instructions on how customize the sites to any business and any location (note: basic knowledge of WordPress and CPanel are required as well as one evening time and will to read the instructions).
Note: if you purchase the sites with the intention to use them on a different location, please keep in mind that as said this plugin has two variations: USA and rest of the world. Do not purchase ‘Marbella’ and then you want to make Chicago, likewise, don’t purchase 'Naples' if you want to make Dubai.

Alternatively if you are not comfortable with technical stuff or have no time, we can design the site for you from scratch at a slightly higher cost (any business/any location, but inquiry first). See sale page 'Choice C'.

The price is just ridiculous considering what you get, in fact it starts at $50 using this coupon (only four available for Choices 'A' and 'B') D1R3CT0RI-AB-15

Please click on the images above to visit the sites thoroughly and have a look at the sale page HERE where you'll find an even more detailed description.

I'm confused, is this a plugin that we can use to make our own directory sites?

I don't want the ones you are showing, but I'd like to be able to make my own directory sites quickly and easily.

Can I do that with this?

Thanks

I am sorry if it is a bit confusing but I can only repeat what already said:

..... unless you are specifically interested in Naples Beauty and Marbella, you should get them without domain name, i.e. as digital downloads (see Sale Page Choice 'B'). In your download you will find instructions on how customize the sites to any business and any location (note: basic knowledge of WordPress and CPanel are required as well as one evening time and will to read the instructions).
Alternatively if you are not comfortable with technical stuff or have no time, we can design the site for you from scratch at a slightly higher cost (any business/any location, but inquiry first). See sale page 'Choice C'.

Can the data be populated by county, state, USA instead of city?

No it is strictly related to a city. Try this 'syntax' (example) :
Beauty Directory of Naples, Florida | city
in the link that will open, replace:
Naples, Fl
and:
plumbers
with different city, state/different business to see how a specific category/city shows.

Exactly, Choice B international. I think the plugin uses Citygrid. If you email me directly at info@ahead-hosting.com (no PM please) with your city/business combo I can run a test and forward you a screenshot, this way if the city is familiar to you, you will be able to see if the results are comprehensive.
