Step 2 · Build the public profile
A complete listing is more than a company name
The submission flow gathers what editors and buyers need before approval.
Identity
- Business or professional name
- Accurate description
- Logo and relevant media
Classification
- Primary category
- Relevant subcategory
- Named services or specialties
Contact and location
- Public website
- Contact method
- City, region, country, or service area
Evidence and detail
- Portfolio or service examples
- Team or professional background
- Consistent public information
Drafts and incomplete records are not public. Track eligible records from My submissions.
Steps 3 and 4 · Quality control
Editorial review, publishing, and verification are distinct
Still being completed and not in review.
An editor checks completeness, relevance, quality, and required evidence.
The editor approves, requests a revision, or rejects with a reason.
The approved record becomes visible publicly.
Published
Visibility status
The listing passed editorial review and can appear publicly.
Verified
Separate trust status
Consultwise completed the applicable verification review. A published listing may still have verification pending.
Step 5 · Business Intelligence
Turn a listing into an operating workspace
Recommendations combine directory completeness with explainable public website and growth evidence. They are priorities—not guaranteed rankings or revenue.
Directory
Improve profile completeness, services, location, media, and buyer confidence.
Website SEO
Run supported technical and on-page checks across the connected public website.
Tasks
Convert opportunities into trackable work and progress states.
Competitors
Compare public baselines without inventing traffic or ranking claims.
Keywords
Track intent and target pages; rankings require a supported provider.
AI Search & AEO
Track buyer prompts and improve FAQs, structured data, and focused pages.
Local SEO
Create citation checklists and record verified directory consistency.
Backlinks
Record links and mentions; records do not create external links.
Reputation & Leads
Monitor supported review evidence and manage quote requests.
Teams and scale
Operate more than one business without losing control
Businesses you own
- Link multiple owned listings
- Invite team members
- Manage organization access
- Use applicable plan capacity
Businesses your clients own
- Portfolio health and alerts
- Per-client editor permissions
- Branded, expiring client links
- Reports, integrations, notifications, and Marketplace
Client access is controlled.
Agency links can expire, be revoked, restrict visible sections, and record access in an audit history.
Managed services Marketplace
A structured buyer-to-publisher workflow
Publisher approval
A publisher submits a profile, accepts terms, completes review, and creates eligible opportunities.
Buyer request and checkout
An entitled organization or agency selects an approved opportunity. Price and scope are captured before payment.
Draft, revision, and delivery
Participants use the private order thread, review a draft, request revisions, and deliver a public URL.
Review, dispute, and monitoring
Completed work can be reviewed; eligible problems disputed; paid publication URLs monitored.
Publish useful business content
AI assists drafting; editors protect quality
Research, draft, refine, submit
Eligible businesses can create an SEO-ready draft and image, pass quality checks, and submit for editorial review. Allowances depend on account or plan.

Create a release and media assets, complete any applicable payment, and submit for review. AI never removes the need for accurate claims.

Common questions
Before you get started
Is browsing free?
Yes. Public directory content can be browsed without an account. Saving, reviewing, requesting quotes, or managing content requires the appropriate account.
Does a submitted listing appear immediately?
No. A draft is private, and a submitted record must pass editorial review before publication.
Are published and verified the same?
No. Published controls public visibility. Verified is a separate trust status.
Do recommendations change my website?
No. They explain findings and actions. You or an authorized provider makes website changes.
Does adding a backlink record create a backlink?
No. It records public evidence. A new placement requires publication elsewhere, potentially through Marketplace.
Where do I get task-specific help?
Use the Help Center, AI Support, or a human support ticket.
