The Feature That Turns Local Home Service Pros into Daily Directory Promoters The single biggest factor that drives organic viral growth and repeat consumer traffic for directories is community-driven recognition — people return when local trust and reputation are on the line. Adding a "People's Choice Awards & Monthly Voting Engine" module to SmartDirectory.ai will transform it from a static home services directory into a daily-use local habit. Homeowners return every month to vote for their favourite local plumbers, electricians, roofers, landscapers, and house cleaners, while home service pros actively share their custom voting links across their social channels, email lists, and customer networks to collect votes — driving massive, free consumer traffic directly onto the platform. Adding an interactive "People's Choice Awards; Monthly Leaderboard" module. The real power is the B2B viral loop: when local home service pros compete for Business of the Month , they become active promoters for the directory, driving their entire customer base to the platform. Core features should include monthly voting windows, category leaderboards (Top Plumber, Best Electrician, Top Landscaper, Most Trusted House Cleaner), 1-click SMS/Email OTP voting (which dual-functions as a verified homeowner lead capture engine in GHL), auto-generated social media promo kits for listed businesses, and monthly voter prize draw incentives. Monetization comes from converting voted-on contractors into premium, high-margin monthly subscription tiers who want to maximize visibility and display their winning badges. Enhancements like physical window stickers, digital website badges, monthly spotlight articles, and automated leaderboard rankings make it incredibly sticky. it’s what transforms SmartDirectory.ai into a daily local habit and guarantees home service businesses see real, measurable local traffic.

Restaurants want to display their menu on their profile page. Please create a menu section for the business profile page. My work around for now is using custom code but would rather have this built in.

It would be great if we could add people (directly or through importing) into GHL that are 'Consumer' listings/contacts. I have many contacts that I could add, and then tell them to just go and add their business - send the directly to the Add Business listing page. Plus I have contacts (Friends and Family, networking colleagues that are employees, not business people) who I could add, and then get them to use the directory, add reviews, etc.

Footer is an important feature of a website. The current footer design is very basic without authority. Future design should include a robust redesign that can readily provides clickable links to the different pages on the site. It should include flaticons.
