Business Idea: A modern digital directory platform that leverages social media engagement to boost local businesses’ visibility, combining SEO benefits with community-driven marketing for meaningful growth.

Target Audience: Small to medium-sized local businesses, digital marketers, entrepreneurs, and startups seeking affordable ways to increase visibility and online credibility.
Monetization: Subscription plans for featured listings, promoted spots, and analytics; additional revenue from advertising partnerships and sponsored content.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Combines social engagement with directory listings, making them more interactive and valuable for both users and businesses, unlike traditional static directories.
Launch Strategy: Start with a simple directory focused on a specific niche or local area; incorporate basic social features like reviews and shares; test user engagement and SEO impact; refine based on feedback before scaling.
