User Accounts

Let Visitors Manage Their Own Listings

User Accounts give your directory visitors the ability to create an account, claim their listings, and manage everything from their own dashboard — no admin involvement needed.

Key Features

• Visitor Registration — Visitors can sign up and create an account directly on your directory.
• Listing Claims — Business owners can claim their existing listing to take ownership and keep their information up to date.
• Personal Dashboard — Each user gets a dashboard where they can view, edit, and manage their submitted or claimed listings.
• Edit Listings — Users can update their listing details — descriptions, images, contact info, and custom fields — anytime.
• Submission Management — Users who submit new listings can track the status of their submissions and make edits before or after approval.
• Self-Service — Reduces your admin workload by letting listing owners maintain their own content.

How It Works

1. Enable User Accounts and public submissions from your directory settings.
2. Visitors can register and log in from your directory.
3. Once logged in, they can submit new listings, claim existing ones, and manage everything from their personal dashboard.

Why It Matters

Directories with user accounts see more engagement and fresher content. When listing owners can update their own information, your directory stays accurate without constant admin effort.
