Explain how resources are selected for a directory

Selection criteria help visitors understand the directory's scope and editorial judgment. A list without criteria can look arbitrary.

Put it into practice

Describe the audience, inclusion requirements, and review approach. Keep sponsorship separate from the reason a resource qualifies.

What this looks like

A resource directory might include practical documentation with a clear task and maintained source, while excluding generic promotional pages.

Before you move on

Could a reader understand why one resource belongs and another does not?

Write down the evidence for your answer. If you cannot point to a concrete example, revise the work before treating it as ready.

A repeatable workflow

  1. Start with a real information need.
  2. Inspect the page a visitor actually receives.
  3. Keep search observations separate from assumptions about cause.

Your working notes

Apply this guide to one real project. Notes stay in this page until you download them; they are not saved to your account.

Where Directoryz fits

Directoryz supports directory publishing, listings and custom fields, CSV imports, submission review, and workspace operations. These guides include editorial workflows you can carry out with a worksheet or your own tools. They do not imply that every audit, reminder, verification, or integration is automated by Directoryz.
