I’m launching a network of ten standalone online business directories focused on semi-truck repair services. Each site will follow the same architecture: visitors first choose a state, then a city, then the repair category they need. WordPress is the required CMS, and the overall look must stay modern and clean so the brand feels unified across all domains. Phase 1 – Design & Build • Spin up and configure ten WordPress installs (my hosting is ready). • Implement a responsive, lightweight theme customised for the directory’s structure. • Create the state → city → category navigation with a simple, intuitive search bar—no extra filters, just the basic geographic drill-down. • Populate starter sample data so each site can be fully tested end-to-end. • Hand over an admin guide covering how to add listings, states, or cities. Phase 2 – Optimise & Grow Once the sites are live, the next step is on-page SEO and performance tuning: schema markup for directory listings, image optimisation, caching, and any quick-win technical tweaks that improve Core Web Vitals. I’ll also need occasional layout or UX adjustments as the directories gain traffic. Acceptance Criteria 1. All ten domains publicly accessible, secure (SSL) and loading in under 3 seconds on desktop and mobile. 2. Seamless state → city → category navigation works on the first attempt across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. 3. WordPress admin area clearly organised so my team can add or edit listings without touching code. 4. Basic SEO foundations (title tags, meta descriptions, XML sitemap, robots.txt) in place. If you’ve previously built WordPress directories or geo-based search sites, your experience will transfer perfectly here. Let’s get the first batch online and earning traffic, then iterate together.
