ListingBott hides full directory list from public
What changed
- Removed the long public list of specific directories and their metrics (DR and traffic).
- Added a "Show all directories" button that reveals a message stating the list is intellectual property.
- Clarified that the 100 most relevant directories are only revealed to the user after payment and onboarding.
- Added a detailed FAQ section covering Domain Rating guarantees, safety, and the 5-week submission process.
- Added specific "Publishing requirements" sections detailing accepted and restricted business topics.
Why it matters
The competitor is now treating their database of 10,000+ directories as protected intellectual property. By hiding the full list until after payment, they are preventing competitors from scraping their sources and creating a sense of exclusive value for paying customers.
