Admin Panel › Directory Settings › Packages
Packages are the plans that business owners choose from when they add a listing. You can create as many as you need, free or paid.
Package options
Click Add Package, or the edit button of an existing package:
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Package Name | Shown as the plan name, for example "Premium". |
| Price | In the website currency. 0 makes the package free, and no payment is requested. |
| Max Images Allowed | How many photos the listing can have, including the logo. |
| Duration Days | How long the listing stays online. 0 uses the default Listings Expiration Days. |
| Description | A short sales text shown on the package card, for example "Reviewed within one business day". |
| Featured listing | Listings with this package are featured: shown on the home page and first in search results. |
| Up to 3 categories | Allows three categories instead of one. |
| Allow a YouTube video | Lets the owner add a video to the listing. |
| Dofollow link | The link to the business website passes SEO value. Businesses value this highly. |
| Online appointment booking | Shows appointment booking as part of the package. |
| Active | Only active packages are offered. Untick it to retire a package without deleting it. |
The package cards on the website list these options automatically ("Add listing to 3 categories", "Add up to 6 images and a video", "Direct link to your site for SEO benefits"…), so you do not need to repeat them in the description.
Deleting a package
A package that is used by at least one listing cannot be deleted. Untick Active instead, so it is no longer offered.
Pricing ideas
- Free + paid upgrades: a free basic listing fills the directory; featured status, more photos and a dofollow link are reasons to upgrade.
- Annual pricing: a duration of 365 days means one invoice a year and fewer renewals to manage.
- Few choices: two or three packages are easier to choose from than six.
- Anchor price: a premium package makes the middle one look reasonable; that is why the demo highlights the second package as "Most Popular".
