📋Business & resources
Agency write-ups, platform comparisons, curated link roundups — editorial lists you control.
Website directory homepage — drag category blocks on the live grid.
Light or dark theme. Same admin for gaming, software, hosting, and business lists.
Not a local directory with maps. Ranked agencies, freelance platforms, or useful links — entries with reviews, updated when things change.
Business & resource lists
Not Yelp. Ranked write-ups of agencies, freelance platforms, or useful links — entries with reviews, not map pins and user submissions.
A link directory is the lighter version: described outbound links in tight categories. Fewer good entries beat a thousand bare URLs.
One industry or one resource topic. Ten to fifteen entries you actually vouch for. Methodology on an info page.
Structure that works
Name what you rank — “freelance platforms we use” not “business directory”. Put methodology on an info page. Start with one industry or one resource topic, not the whole B2B internet.
Examples
Agency lists
Marketing, design, SEO agencies you research and rank. Geography goes in the category title, not a map widget. Paid placement is your call — reflect it with sort order and the Featured badge.
List ideas: Top marketing agencies · Best web design agencies · Accounting firms for startups · SEO agencies for ecommerce · Best branding agencies.
Platform comparisons
Upwork, Fiverr, Toptal, alternatives — ranked entries with signup affiliate links. Or “best sites to hire [role]” as category titles.
List ideas: Best freelance platforms · Top sites to hire developers · Best tools for freelancers · Freelance marketplaces compared · Best sites to hire designers.
Curated resources
SEO tools, dev links, design assets — described entries in small categories. Visitors can report broken links; you fix them in admin.
List ideas: Best free SEO tools · Top developer resources · Startup tool stack · Design resource roundup · Best free stock photo sites.
