What this looks like

For a partner directory, service type and supported region may matter more than the year a profile was created.

Before you move on

Would changing this filter meaningfully change which listings a visitor considers?

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 visitor question.
  2. Test labels against representative listings.
  3. Keep category changes understandable for editors and visitors.

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.
