Your directory, built by the
people who made the plugin
Directorist gives you every tool you need. The Done For You service means you don’t have to figure out how to use them. The same team behind the plugin sets up, configures, and launches your directory — so you show up to a finished product.
What is “Done For You,” exactly?
Done For You is a professional services layer built on top of the Directorist plugin. Instead of reading documentation, watching tutorials, and debugging configuration issues yourself, you hand the setup over to the team that built the software.
This matters more with directory plugins than with most other WordPress tools. Directorist is powerful precisely because it’s flexible — you can build a restaurant directory, a real estate portal, a classifieds site, or a service marketplace all on the same install. But that flexibility means there are dozens of configuration decisions to make before your site is ready to go live. Done For You handles every one of those decisions, or makes them in consultation with you.
It’s not a managed hosting plan. It’s not ongoing maintenance. It’s a bounded, scoped engagement: you pick a package, share your requirements, and receive a finished, launch-ready directory — or a functioning SEO growth strategy for one you’ve already built.
Four packages. Pick the one that matches where you are.
Whether you’re starting from zero, need a fully monetized multi-directory setup, or want to turn a live site into an SEO traffic engine — there’s a scoped service for it.

From purchase to handover — four clear steps
No ambiguity about what happens after you pay. Here’s the exact flow from start to delivery.
Choose Your Package
Pick the service that matches your stage and goals — fresh setup, advanced build, or SEO growth. Complete the purchase to kick things off.
Share Your Specs
After purchase you’ll fill in a short project brief. Tell the team about your niche, your goals, and any existing assets. WordPress admin access is required.
Kickoff & Review
Work begins and you’ll receive progress updates along the way. The team reaches out if any decision needs your input before they proceed.
Handover
Receive your fully configured directory, ready to run. A review window follows where anything within the agreed scope is handled at no extra cost.
Everything you need to know before ordering
Real questions from real buyers, answered straight.
Clear terms so both sides know what to expect
No surprises. Here’s exactly what you’re agreeing to when you purchase any Done For You package.
1. Scope of Services
Each service package has a clearly defined scope as listed under “What’s Included” and “What’s Not Included.” Work outside the listed scope is considered a separate engagement and will be quoted separately before any additional work begins.
2. Payment Terms
- All package fees are payable in full at the time of purchase unless otherwise agreed in writing.
- Custom Development projects may require a 50% deposit to begin, with the balance due before final delivery.
- Monthly retainer services (e.g., Growth & SEO) are billed monthly in advance.
- All prices are in USD and do not include applicable taxes or transaction fees.
3. Refund Policy
Refund eligibility depends on whether work has begun. If you need to cancel before the project kicks off, contact the team directly. Once work is underway, refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis based on work completed.
