The FC Extensions directory already did its job well. Your members presented their business, you approved each listing, and professionals could pay to be featured.
But in a community, people are not just looking for an address. They are looking for advice. So I wanted a directory that carries your expert eye, earns you money in new ways, and works for you. That is what version 1.18.6 brings.
See the directory in action
A directory that recommends
On each listing, you give your review: a star rating, your text, and even your voice or your video. Your rating shows above the members’ one. Your members know which one to choose, and why.
Your review can stay open to everyone, for your whole community. Or be kept for members, certain groups or your readers. You choose, category by category.
A directory that earns you more
A directory of coaches does not sell like a directory of places or tools. So you build your offers yourself: the duration, the price, one-time payment or subscription, the name, and who can see them, members, visitors or certain groups.
For professionals
They publish their listing, feature it, or take Premium, the all-inclusive plan. You can also offer them a custom package, where you set each option and its price. Publishing can be paid monthly or yearly: your income becomes regular.
For your readers and visitors
This is the big new feature. Your expert eye has value: you can reserve your review, or the whole listing. Everyone reads the first sentence. Then you offer a few free listings, listing packs, or the Reader pass that opens the whole directory.
A visitor signs up in one click and comes back to the listing they were reading. Your directory also brings you new members.
Payment without leaving the community
Each offer has its own sales window, which you write right on the screen, in your colors. FluentCart payment happens inside it, in a few seconds. The member lands right on what they bought.
A directory that works for you
The directory talks with FluentCRM, Make, n8n or Zapier, both ways. You import hundreds of listings from one file, with your reviews. And you can plug in your AI assistants, which create and enrich your listings for you.
Meanwhile, it shows you what it earns, month after month, reminds professionals before their feature ends, and looks after the quality of reviews.
A redesigned admin
Every screen gets to the point. You start with step-by-step guidance, “To do” gathers everything waiting for you, and the listings table sorts and filters in an instant. You choose who sees the directory and who publishes in it, and “See as…” shows you what each person sees.
