NishrostheQ: Various questions and Tier support needed:
1. Am I able to create a sliding scale search feature (e.g. search based on the cost of services)?
2. Am I able to allow members to upload video intros to their directory profiles?
3. When each member creates a profile - how much of the sign-up page and member information required is able to be modified by me? Can I require attachments (e.g. member's CV) as part of the sign-up process?
4. When each member creates a profile, do I have to manually add this to the directory each time? Or is the profile automatically created and live in the directory?
5. For individuals using the directory to contact members about their services, am I able to store/collect their contact information (if agreed to opt in to do so) during the member contact process? (e.g will they like to receive news, event information that the directory has recently listed)

Jul 2, 2025A: Thanks for your questions and for taking the time to check us out! 🙌 Here’s a detailed breakdown for each point:
1️⃣ Sliding Scale Search
You can use sub and sub-sub categories to create options like cost ranges ($-$$$$), similar to Yelp or Yellow Pages. For an even better experience, the Dynamic Category Filtering Add-On lets visitors dynamically select the filters they want for precise results:

2️⃣ Video Intros
Members can upload video intros using the Video Post type. They simply insert a YouTube, Vimeo, Rumble, or TikTok URL, and the video will display directly in their profile.
3️⃣ Custom Sign-Up Fields & Attachments
Members first choose a membership plan, register with their email and password, and then fill out additional listing information. You can fully customize what data you collect during this step. Here’s a helpful video on editing these fields:

With the File Uploads for Forms Add-On, you can also require attachments like CVs and other media during registration.
4️⃣ Automatic Profile Creation
BD is a fully automated platform — when members sign up, their profile pages are instantly created and updated based on their information. This automatic page creation helps boost your site’s SEO by giving Google lots of content to index.
5️⃣ Collecting Visitor Contact Info
Yes! BD started as a lead gen platform, so it’s built to collect and store visitor info when they contact your members. These leads are saved in your CRM, and if visitors opt in, you can market to them later with news, events, and updates.
Please let us know if you have any more questions – always happy to help!
