Invite to Claim & Paid Claims

Invite to Claim & Paid Claims

Turn a directory full of listings into a directory full of paying businesses. The classic local-directory playbook — import businesses, invite them to claim their listing, charge for the claim — now runs end to end inside Directify.

Invite to Claim

• One bulk action — select listings on Manage → Listings, hit Invite to Claim, and every business receives an email at its listing's contact address with a personalized claim link. Pairs perfectly with Google Maps Import and Find Contact Emails.
• Your brand, your sender — invitations go out through your own connected email provider with your own from-address, and the email template is fully editable under Settings → Email Templates.
• Track your outreach — an Invited column and filter show exactly who has been contacted, and a re-send option covers follow-ups.

Claims that verify themselves

A claim made through an invitation link is verified automatically: clicking the link proves the business controls its own contact inbox. No proof-of-ownership text to read, no manual review — the claim is approved instantly, the listing is handed over, and the new owner receives their login details by email. Claims from visitors who weren't invited keep the classic proof + manual review flow.

Charge for claiming

• Turn claims into checkout — enable Charge for claiming, pick a claim plan, and the claim form shows your price and sends claimants to payment. A completed payment approves the claim automatically.
• Every provider, 100% yours — works with Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Creem and PayPal, one-time or recurring, and you keep every cent.
• Sell a "Claim & Verify" bundle — add the Verified badge to your claim plan and paying claimants get the ✓ badge applied the moment they pay. Typical pricing: $29–99 one-time.

Built for the import playbook

Import a niche's businesses from Google Maps (now with automatic category assignment from each business's Google category), find their contact emails, invite them all with one click, and let claims — free or paid — convert your seed data into engaged, self-managing listing owners.

Invite to Claim lives on Manage → Listings; configure paid claims under Settings → General → Claim Listing Settings and find the playbook in the Monetize hub. Claiming works on all plans; charging for claims requires a connected payment provider.
