Before you start sending your catalog URL to potential listing owners or posting it publicly, run through this checklist. Most items take under 5 minutes each.

​
Catalog setup

1

Catalog name and hero text

Go to Settings → General and Settings → Appearance. Make sure:
  • The catalog name reflects your niche and location
  • The hero title is specific and keyword-rich (not “Welcome to our directory”)
  • The hero description explains who the catalog is for
See Writing for SEO if you need guidance.
2

Brand color and logo

Upload your logo and set a brand color that matches it. Even a simple logo goes a long way toward looking professional. A plain colored placeholder is better than the default.
3

Entity types and specializations

Confirm that your entity type names (singular/plural) are correct. These appear throughout the catalog — on search result pages, profile headings, and filters. Add at least 5–8 specializations so the filter menu is useful from day one.
4

At least 10 listings before going public

An empty catalog sends new visitors away. Aim for at least 10 active listings before sharing the URL. Use manual adds, CSV import, or invite a small initial cohort.

​
Technical

1

Custom domain (if applicable)

If you’re on Professional or Business and want to use your own domain, set it up now — before you start promoting the catalog. Changing the URL after promotion creates broken links and confuses early visitors.See Add a custom domain.
2

OG image

Upload an OG image in Settings → SEO. This is what appears when someone shares your link on social media. Without one, shared links look like blank grey boxes.
3

robots.txt and sitemap

Your catalog automatically generates robots.txt and sitemap.xml. Verify them by visiting:
  • https://your-catalog-url/robots.txt
  • https://your-catalog-url/sitemap.xml
Both should load without errors.
4

Submit to Google Search Console

Create a GSC account, add your catalog, and submit the sitemap. Early submission = earlier indexing = earlier organic traffic.See OG image and Google Search Console.
5

2FA enabled

Enable TOTP two-factor authentication on your admin account. Your catalog admin account has full control over billing and data — protect it.See Secure your account with 2FA.

​
Monetization (if charging for listings)

1

Stripe Connect connected and active

Go to Settings → Payments and confirm Stripe status shows Active (not Restricted or Not connected). Restricted means Stripe is still reviewing your account — you can test but real payouts are held.
2

At least one listing plan defined

Create your plan(s) in Dashboard → Listing plans before inviting owners to register. If owners arrive and there’s no plan to subscribe to, you lose the conversion moment.
3

Test the checkout flow

Register a test listing owner account, navigate to the subscribe page, and run through Stripe Checkout with a Stripe test card. Confirm the subscription activates correctly.

​
Listing owner experience

1

Send a test invitation

Send an invitation to yourself at a secondary email address. Open it on your phone. Go through the entire registration and profile completion flow as if you were a new listing owner. Fix any friction points you notice.
2

Check the profile page

View a completed profile page as an anonymous visitor (incognito browser). Does it look professional? Is the contact form visible? Are the custom fields displaying correctly?
3

Verify email notifications

Confirm that emails are being sent. Key ones to test:
  • Welcome email after registration
  • Contact form notification (fill in the form on a test profile)
  • Invitation email (check formatting and link validity)
