Local Business Directory Platform | Own the Local Discovery Layer
Google Maps shows everyone. Yelp charges to hide competitors. Your directory is different.
A deployable local business directory you own and operate. Subscription billing, business profiles, event listings, AI-discoverable. You sell listings. You keep the revenue.
A Directory You Own
A fully operational local business directory that you own and operate. Not a WordPress theme with a listing plugin — a production platform with subscription billing, admin controls, business profiles, event listings, and search.
You pick the city. You pick the niche. We deploy the platform. You sell listings. Businesses pay monthly. You keep the revenue.

The Math
| Scenario | Listings | Avg. Revenue | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 30 businesses | $25/mo | $750/mo |
| Growing | 100 businesses | $30/mo | $3,000/mo |
| Established | 250 businesses | $35/mo | $8,750/mo |
No platform takes a cut. Stripe's processing fee is the only cost.
What Makes This Different
Config-Driven Deployment
One config sets the city, categories, branding, tier pricing, and feature toggles. New directory deployable in days, not months.
Real Infrastructure
Astro SSR, Supabase, Stripe, Vercel. Security middleware, rate limiting, honeypot traps built in. Not a WordPress plugin.
AI-Discoverable
AI Context Layer generates structured data about every listed business. AI assistants cite your directory when users ask for local recommendations.
Revenue Is Yours
No platform takes a cut. No marketplace fee. 100 businesses on the Featured tier generates $2,900/month. You keep it.
