Bringing together directory owners in the way I always hoped for when I first started.
Hey, I’m Frey. Since 2022, I’ve been building directory websites in private – starting with static directories and growing to programmatic B2B directories.
Until I started sharing what I know on YouTube, I never expected people to be interested in these directory sites.
I hope to create an environment where I can share the things I’ve learned (the hard way), so you can get tailored advice and learn from other like-minded builders.

Q&A
When will this community go live?
The target go-live date is in early April, 2025.
Will this be a paid community?
Yes, this will be a paid community. Although, I’m considering a free member area with limited access so if budget is an issue, you can still get value. Still playing around with the format, but feel free to share ideas at [email protected]
What can I expect from joining?
I definitely want to do bi-weekly (or weekly) livestreams where we do idea busts (busting good and “bad” directory niche ideas), live SEO optimization strats, and bringing in AI experts to help publish directories with emerging tools like bolt.new, claude, supabase and others.
At the end of the day, the method that helps you create a profitable website directory is the one we’ll go with.
Beyond directories, I want to share everything I know about SEO and spotting winning niche ideas. It’s the one skill that will carry you beyond directories if you ever decide to change directions (building SaaS, or any other business).
Who is this for?
The community I’m envisioning is designed for two types of people: those who want to start learn the step-by-step process of building a profitable website directory, and those who already own website directories and are running into challenges (traffic, SEO, monetization, etc.)
Candidly, there’s going to be a lot of SEO talk. From using advanced tools, like ahrefs, to find and validate niches, to on-page SEO and off-page SEO (i.e. acquiring high quality backlinks).
There’s also room to grow into the use of emerging AI tools, which I plan to use more of for my own directory sites.
The most valuable part will be meeting and building with other directory-builders who will have solved the same challenges you may be experiencing.
Will there be a course in the future?
Yes, that’s the plan. Any community members on an annual plan will have access to these courses when they’re rolled out at no extra cost.
Why should I trust you?
Everything I share on my YouTube channel is what I’ve learned from doing SEO consulting for 45+ businesses in the last two years and building five of my own website directories, ranging from static directories to B2B programmatic directories.
I’m no genius. I’ve just learned enough to grow a few websites to thousands of monthly visitors repeatedly. There’s no copy & paste formula, because the nature of each directory niche is different. But there are fundamentals that work for directory SEO and smarter ways to execute!
Also, I plan to offer a 14 day money back guarantee.
