What is an online directory?
A website where listings — businesses, professionals, venues, events, properties or products — are organised into categories so visitors can search, filter and discover them. Unlike a transactional marketplace, the directory owner typically earns from visibility (paid or featured listings, subscriptions) and leads rather than a cut of a sale.
