Word for word from the clips above, in case you would rather read than watch.

I was honestly skeptical at first. I’ve tried other directory plugins in the past, and none of them worked well—they were slow, complicated, and just didn’t deliver what I needed. But TurnKey Directories completely surprised me! With just a few clicks, my entire directory with 27,000 listings was built and fully functional. The pages load instantly, and the SEO features are spot-on, giving each listing the chance to rank on search engines. It’s incredibly user-friendly and took away all the hassle I expected. Hands down, TurnKey Directories is the best business directory plugin I’ve ever used.

What hooked me on TurnKey Directories are the hidden SEO features. Each business gets a unique street view image, which is amazing! Plus, the schema, perfect URL structure, and monetization options are exactly what Google values. It’s packed with everything your business directory needs for serious results.

I bought TurnKey Directories for the one-time fee. I was tired of paying monthly fees just for testing, only to waste time and money. Now, I own the plugin, so I can test and retry without losing money or data. It’s perfect for experimenting until you find what works.

I started with the free trial, not expecting much. It seemed basic at first, like other directory plugins. But once I saw features like local business schema, ad banners, and options I’d never seen before—I bought TurnKey Directories in a heartbeat!

I don’t have tons of tech skills, so I was looking for something user-friendly to start a side hustle. I found TurnKey Directories on Reddit, and started to dig into it a little bit more. It took literally 3 clicks to install and I’m already getting clicks after only two weeks.

Four things they all end up saying

Nobody was given a brief. These are the points that turned up anyway, in five recordings made by five people who have never met.

They came in expecting nothing

Two of the five say outright that they had been burned by a directory plugin before, and installed this one to prove it would be the same.

Standing it up took an afternoon

The setup step is the one nobody dwells on, which is the point — it is measured in clicks and it happens before the interesting part.

The SEO was already in the box

Schema, URL structure, street view imagery and sitemaps ship with the plugin rather than arriving as a second purchase — three of the five bring this up unprompted.

Paying once changed how they use it

When the meter is not running, a failed experiment costs an afternoon instead of another month’s invoice. That shows up as people testing more, not less.

What the file needs to be

60 seconds or less HD (1080p is plenty) Vertical, 9:16 .mp4

That is a phone camera on its default settings, held upright. No editing, no intro card, no music. If the audio is clear and we can see your face, it is good enough — every clip on this page was filmed exactly that way.

If you freeze, answer these

  • Who are you and what directory did you build?
  • What were you using or considering before this?
  • What was the moment you decided it was worth keeping?
  • What still annoys you about it?
  • Who would you tell to install it — and who wouldn’t you?

The fourth one is not a trick. A story with one honest complaint in it is worth more to a buyer than a clean one, and we will still send the code.

The fine print

Before you hit record

Do I have to buy a licence before I can send one?
No. That is the point of the order. Install the free version from WordPress.org, use it properly for a while, then tell us what you found. The code arrives afterwards and comes off whichever licence you decide to buy — so the discount is there when you need it, not spent before you have made up your mind.
What does the 30% actually come off?
A one-time licence — Starter, Growth, Pro or Agency, whichever you pick. One code per person, and it does not stack with another promotion; if a bigger discount is running when you go to buy, you pay the lower of the two. The pricing section lists the tiers.
My directory is tiny and I am not a professional. Is it still worth sending?
Yes, and those are usually the more useful ones. David up the page is a student who had been live for two weeks when he recorded his. A person who has just done the thing the visitor is about to do is far more convincing than an expert who did it years ago.
Where will my video end up?
On this page, in the customer-stories section of the homepage, and on our own social channels. Sending it is how you give us permission for that. If you would rather we used a first name only, or kept it off social, say so in the email and we will — it does not change the discount.
Can I change my mind later and have it taken down?
Yes. Email the same address and we take it down — no reason needed, and you keep the discount you were already given. Anything already downloaded or reshared by someone else is outside what we can reach, which is true of any video on the internet.
Can I write something instead of filming it?
Written feedback is genuinely welcome at the same address and we read all of it — but the 30% is for video specifically. Anyone can type a five-star review; a face saying it is the part a sceptical buyer believes, which is why it is worth a discount to us.
I already bought a licence. Did I miss it?
Send it anyway and say so in the email. You are exactly the person whose story is worth hearing, and we would rather work out something fair with you directly than have you not bother. Reply comes from a human within 24 hours either way.

Still unsure about something? Ask us first — it is a shorter conversation than a re-shoot.

Go build the thing you would film.

Every story on this page started with the free version and a spare afternoon. Install it, put a directory live, and if it earns a good word we will pay you 30% for saying it out loud.
