[ THE_PROBLEM ]

Why this existed

Directories are one of the few content assets that compound — they earn links, rank for hundreds of long-tail queries and give an audience a reason to return. But they need real curation infrastructure.

[ WHAT_WE_BUILT ]

What we built

A catalogue with detail pages, a keyboard-driven command palette, favourites, a news section, a marquee, an admin surface for curation, and a generated sitemap with per-page metadata — search-first, with fuzzy matching and URL-synced state so any view is shareable.

[ COMMON_QUESTIONS ]

Questions clients ask

Why sync search state to the URL?

So a filtered view can be shared and linked. It also means each meaningful view is a real URL search engines can index, which is most of the SEO argument for a directory.

What makes a directory rank?

Genuine curation and unique per-entry content. A scraped list of names ranks for nothing. The editorial work is the product, and it is ongoing rather than a launch task.

How much maintenance does a directory need?

Continuous. Entries go stale, links break, and new entries arrive. Budgeting for curation is the difference between an asset that compounds and one that decays.
