Learn how to use our platform to its full potential.

Listing Features

Members are allowed to create up to 2 Listings per Listing Package purchased, which provides an opportunity to either create multiple Listings of the same type or to branch out and create different types of Listings.

Listings can be found using advanced search and filtering.

Filters vary, depending on the type of Listing, but some of the more common filters include ‘Categories’, ‘Regions’, ‘and Tags/Keywords’.

We encourage Listing owners to fill out their Listings as completely as possible, in order to extend their customer reach.

Check out one of the search pages for yourself.

Wouldn’t it be great to already know the Listings on the other end of your search may want to connect with you?

Listings can be found using a one-way search, but the true magic is bringing Listings together based on similar needs and interests.

Each side (i.e. Listing) specifies what they offer and what they are looking for and then the searching party can use our advanced search form to “trigger” the matching in a few clicks.

At this time, Directory Listings have two-way matching capabilities.

Listing owners can provide various details to help other members of our community make better-informed decisions.
