Directory Website Challenges

Directory websites need massive amounts of content to rank for location and category combinations. Creating unique content for thousands of pages manually is impossible.

Need pages for every city + category combination
Thin content pages get ignored by Google
User-generated content is often low quality
Competing with established directories requires volume
