Listing Features
Those looking to create exceptional building facades and find the right solutions can easily discover contractors, suppliers, and facade-related products with our platform’s Advanced Search & Filtering features.
We encourage listing owners to provide comprehensive details in their profiles to increase visibility and maximize their chances of being discovered by potential clients.
Listing owners can share comprehensive information to help others in the facade industry make well-informed decisions. The following details are available to all Listing owners, regardless of their subscription plan:
- Name
- Tagline
- About
- Specializations
- Product Range or Services
- Contact Email (Not publicly visible)
- Address (Includes map and directions)
- Business Hours
- Associated Projects or Case Studies
- Cover Image
Tip: Upgrading to higher-tier subscription plans unlocks additional features, allowing you to highlight even more details and stand out in the directory.
Every listing on our platform includes a built-in contact form, ensuring that potential clients can easily get in touch with listing owners.
The email address provided during signup is set as the default recipient address, but you can update this at any time by editing your account details.
Listing owners can have their address shown for quick reference, as well as shown on a map, providing quick access to directions for users.
Logged-in members of our platform can leave reviews for listings, helping others make informed decisions when selecting facade contractors, suppliers, or products.
Reviews include star-based ratings for specific criteria, as well as an overall star rating. This feedback allows listing owners to build their reputation by accumulating positive ratings and reviews.
It’s important to note that everyone starts somewhere—having no reviews initially isn’t necessarily a disadvantage.
All reviews are moderated to ensure quality and fairness. Only registered users can submit reviews, and listing owners are not permitted to review their own listings.
Ratings are tailored to the specific listing type, for example:
Contractors/Suppliers:
- Quality of Service
- Timeliness
- Value
- Professionalism
- Communication
Products:
- Quality
- Durability
- Ease of Installation
- Value
From your account dashboard, you can access valuable insights into your listings’ performance on our platform. Filter data by specific listings and date ranges to better understand your impact and make data-driven decisions.
The analytics are presented in a clean, easy-to-digest format, including:
- Unique Listing Views: The number of first-time visitors to your listing, determined by their unique IP address.
- Total Listing Views: The total number of times visitors have viewed your listing, including repeat views.
- Published Listings: The number of active listings you currently have on the platform.
- Pending Listings: The number of listings awaiting approval from our team.
- Active Promotions: The number of listings you’ve promoted to gain extra visibility.
Use these insights to optimize your profile, attract more clients, and grow your presence in the facade industry.
Cover Images are ideal for communicating your brand, products, services, etc., and for those that are highly visual, the right cover image could be what makes someone ultimately choose your Listing.
It is really that simple, to have multiple Listings on our platform that might share a lot of the same information. For that, you can easily duplicate any of your existing Listings, in just a few steps.
- From your Listings dashboard, click the ‘Duplicate’ icon on one of your Listings.
- Choose the desired package to place the duplicated Listing under.
- Make any desired changes to what will be your new Listing.
- Preview your Listing and/or Submit it.
To help people easily reach Listing owners and to help get Listings found in search engines, NAP (Name, Address, and Phone Number) is critical information to include in a Listing.
While including a Name (i.e. Listing Title) is a given, Listings can contain the following information, in an actionable format (ex. click-to-call) where possible, to make things even more convenient for users of the platform.
Links to Social Networks can be added to Listings and when a link is added, the name of the network and the corresponding icon are automatically added.
If someone chooses to click on one of the Social Networks, that network’s website will open in a new browser tab, so users can stay on the Listing.
Videos uploaded to services like YouTube or Vimeo can be easily embedded into a Listing.
- Business or Brand Introduction Videos
- Video Testimonials
- Product Overview Videos
- Video-based Guides
Link directly to your own website, allowing you to get more exposure and run visitors through your own sales funnel.
Image galleries are ideal for communicating your branding, products, services, etc., and for those that are highly visual, the right cover image could be what makes someone ultimately choose your Listing.
Up to 6 images can be added to an Image Gallery.
Bonus Image Galleries are great for showcasing products, past events, and more.
Up to 12 images can be added to a Bonus Image Gallery.

Search Prominence
Premium-level Listings appear above all Basic and Standard-level Listings in search.
Promoted Listings are the only Listings that are given more prominence in search, above Premium-level Listings.
Listing Prominence
Premium-level Listings appear on our Home page, and other high-traffic pages, for a time, giving them greater exposure.
Premium-level Listings will hold their spot on the high-traffic pages, for as long as it takes for new, Premium-level Listings or Promoted Listings to push them out.
In order to hold onto your Search and Listing Prominence longer or to help guarantee both, we recommend promoting your Listings.
Standard and Premium-level Listings are automatically granted “verified” status on our platform and will have a badge displayed so other members know those Listings mean business.
While we are always willing to help all of our members, those with a Premium-level membership can get hands-on assistance from our team.
To get started, please reach out.
