What counts as a directory?
A directory is a third-party listing source where a business profile can be created, claimed, corrected, or submitted. Some platforms expose the same listing across search, maps, assistants, or partner networks.

Practical answers for a third-party directory workflow.
The goal is to reduce uncertainty before the buyer submits business data or chooses a package.
Do you guarantee every directory will accept my listing?
No. Third-party directories control acceptance, review timing, and eligibility. We track each outcome and keep blocked or rejected steps visible.
Are paid directories included?
Directory submission work is included. Third-party paid listing fees are not included unless explicitly approved and billed separately.
Do I own the listings?
Your business data and submitted assets remain yours. When a directory supports account handoff or listing access, the project notes should include the available handoff details.
What happens after the one-time build?
The build is one-time. Optional monitoring and revision add-ons can help catch listing drift, business data changes, and verification follow-up work.
