Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question in mind? Check if we have it covered below.
Is there a trial period?
Yes! We offer a 3-day trial period with full access to all features, allowing you to explore everything TurnKey Directories has to offer before making a purchase.
How does the TurnKey Directories plugin work, and how can I create a 50k listings business directory in under 5 minutes?
The plugin allows you to create a massive business directory quickly and efficiently. To build a directory with 50,000 listings in under 5 minutes, simply bring your own scraping data for the niche you desire, such as "restaurants in the USA." You can use a scraping service like Outscraper.com to gather the data. Once you have the data, copy and paste it into our provided CSV template. With just one click, the plugin will bulk upload the data and automatically create the directory pages. It's that simple!
Is the plugin SEO-friendly?
Yes, the plugin is designed to be highly SEO-friendly. It automatically generates custom URL paths to help Google bots easily find and crawl your directory. Each page contains dynamic content with unique business information, and the plugin integrates Google’s API to pull in a unique Street View screenshot as the featured image. It also embeds Google Maps with implemented NAP schema, which is excellent for local SEO and serves as a convenient directions guide for customers—just like Google My Business. Additionally, there are many more built-in SEO features to help your directory rank in the top 3 alongside Google My Business and Yelp.
Do I need a Google API, and how does it work with the plugin?
Yes, the plugin requires a Google API to generate the map and Street View screenshots for each business listing. The setup is straightforward, and we provide walkthrough videos to guide you through it. Google offers a recurring $200 monthly credit for Google Maps Platform usage, which resets every month. This means that most users will never exceed the free credit and won’t have to pay anything as long as their usage stays within that limit.
Additionally, the plugin is optimized to save the images and maps locally after they load for the first time. This means you won’t be charged for subsequent views, making it highly cost-effective.
Can businesses claim and sponsor their own listings?
Yes, businesses can claim their listings and sponsor them, similar to how it works on Yelp. However, they won’t have direct access to edit their listings. Instead, they can submit a request by filling out a form, and you will manually update the CSV file with their desired changes. This process ensures full control over the integrity of your directory and prevents fraudulent activities or shady tactics from business owners.
What is the "Rank & Rent" feature, and how does it work?
The Rank & Rent feature automatically generates a top 10 page for all business listings for each city, similar to Yelp's top 10 recommendations, which is optimized to rank highly on Google. These pages attract a lot of customer clicks, much like popular product review lists.
Once these pages gain traction and rank well, you can monetize the top 3 spots by renting them out to businesses in the respective city. The businesses with the highest bids can secure a featured position, increasing their visibility and driving more traffic to their services, all while providing you with a steady income stream. This method is highly effective for local SEO and monetization.
How can I monetize my directory with TurnKey Directories?
The plugin offers six powerful ways to monetize your directory:
Display ads within your listings.
Add affiliate banners and links to generate commissions.
Use the "Rank & Rent" model by renting page listings to businesses.
Sell leads generated from your directory to third parties.
Offer sponsored business spots in the top 3 search results for an additional fee.
Use the claim listings feature, where businesses can claim their pages for a fee and add/edit extra information to their listings.
How fast will my pages load with TurnKey Directories?
TurnKey Directories uses virtual pages instead of physical pages, ensuring blazing-fast load speeds even with thousands of listings.
Can I use TurnKey Directories on both new and existing WordPress websites?
Absolutely! TurnKey Directories works seamlessly with both new and existing WordPress websites. You can easily add a brand new directory to your existing blog or website, or create an entirely new directory site from scratch. The plugin is fully compatible with any WordPress theme or page builder, ensuring no drawbacks or limitations. It integrates smoothly, allowing you to enhance your site with a directory in just a few clicks.
Does the plugin generate a sitemap for SEO purposes?
Yes, the plugin automatically generates a sitemap for your business directory, making it easier for Google and other search engines to discover and index all your pages. This enhances your SEO efforts by ensuring that search engines can efficiently crawl and rank your site, improving its visibility in search results. The sitemap is updated dynamically as you add or modify listings, ensuring that all changes are captured.
What is the indexing feature, and how does it work?
We’ve integrated a powerful indexing feature that is typically a paid service elsewhere, but we offer it for free as part of the plugin. This feature connects directly to your Google Search Console (GSC) and automatically submits a number of pages for indexing, ensuring your business listings are visible in search results quickly and efficiently—at no extra cost to you. Additionally, the indexing monitor allows you to track the status of all your pages, showing which ones are already indexed and which are pending submission. This eliminates the need for a paid subscription and provides a comprehensive solution to managing your site’s indexing process.
How is TurnKey Directories going to be priced, and why don’t you offer a subscription model?
We believe in giving you full ownership of the plugin, which is why we charge a one-time fee instead of a subscription. Unlike other plugins that require ongoing payments and can take a year or more to build a 50k directory, TurnKey Directories lets you create a full business in minutes. With other subscription models, if you stop paying, you lose access to the plugin and your business. With us, you own the plugin outright, ensuring your directory stays functional forever, even if you stop using the service.
The price will be between $500 and $1,000, which is a bargain considering the powerful features and future updates we will include. Plus, you’ll have lifetime access to support and updates. In most cases, a well-monetized directory can earn back this fee within the first few months of operation. It’s a one-time investment for a long-term business solution.
