Description

The addon Post Your Need adds to Directorist a public request form where visitors describe what they need to hire or purchase and directory advertisers receive these demands to respond. The extension creates a dedicated submission page, organizes the requests by directory category, and displays the posted needs in a dedicated listing, reversing the traditional directory flow.

Main Features

  • Submission Request Form: page with title, description, category and location fields for the visitor to record the need.
  • Dedicated Demand Listing: displays the posted requests in a custom layout, separate from the traditional Directorist listings.
  • Link to Directory Categories: reuses the categories already registered in Directorist to classify each submitted request.
  • Email Notifications: alerts the administrator and advertisers when a new need is posted on the platform.
  • Integrated Admin Panel: moderation, approval and management of requests directly within the WordPress admin.

Benefits of Post Your Need

  • Inverted Directory Flow: instead of only listing providers, receives active requests from those seeking services or products.
  • Greater Advertiser Engagement: the listed ones gain a direct channel of leads generated by the visitors themselves.
  • Increased Site Return: seekers come back to track responses; providers come back to capture new requests.
  • Expanded Monetization: creates space to charge for posting requests or for priority access to demands.

Who is it for?

  • Local service directories that want to capture demand beyond listing providers.
  • Freelance and independent professional marketplaces built upon Directorist.
  • Classified portals aiming to operate on both sides, supply and demand, within the same site.

For directories that need to go beyond the advertiser showcase, Post Your Need turns the site into a meeting point between those looking and those offering, with an organized and moderated bilateral flow within Directorist itself. The result is a more dynamic operation, with recurring traffic driven by continuous posting of requests and qualified responses.
