In many tools, your listings and data live in separate places, so it’s easy for information to drift out of sync or be inconsistent across pages.
With Ontraport, your directory site lives in the same place as your data, ensuring everything stays accurate automatically.

Customize your directory for your needs
Traditional directory builders limit what you can design or automate, so you need to install add-ons or write custom code to create what you envision.
In Ontraport, you can build your directory exactly how you want it. Add search filters, manage categories and trigger automated workflows — like notifying members to update their listings — all with point-and-click tools.

Scale your directory without limits
As your listings and traffic grow, many directory tools struggle with performance and maintenance — leaving you to manage hosting, scaling and security.
Ontraport handles that for you. Your data is backed by enterprise-grade infrastructure that supports unlimited listings, users and traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Directories give your audience an organized, searchable way to find the people, resources, or services they need. For your team, they create a single source of truth, automatically keeping information current while reducing manual updates. The result is a more engaging experience for users and a more efficient system for your team.
You can create just about any type of directory — from member and partner lists to provider databases, resource libraries, or internal team hubs. Each directory can be customized with filters, categories, and permissions, so users can easily find what’s most relevant to them. Whether public-facing or private, every directory stays dynamic and up to date as your data evolves.
When your directory is connected to the same platform that manages the data in your listings, it stays accurate and up-to-date automatically.
That connection also unlocks powerful possibilities:
- Contact data: Personalize what each user sees based on their relationship, history, or status.
- Automations: Trigger alerts, updates, or approval workflows the moment listings are added or changed.
- Membership tools: Control access with permissions or password protection through portals and courses.
- Forms: Let people submit new listings or updates directly to your directory — perfect for building two-sided marketplaces or keeping records fresh without manual entry.
