Getting Started with Simple Business Directory:

Getting up and running with Simple Business Directory could not be any easier – yet it packs all the advanced features for a power user!

Step 1: Create Business Categories

Choose a business niche you want to curate business listings for. Create a Category for that topic inside Simple Business Directory. Categories help you organize your Link Lists in the backend and easily show them on any page.

Step 2: Create Lists

A List is comprised of many business listings. Each list entry can have an image (usually site logo), site URL, a short description, phone number, full address, facebook, yelp, twitter links etc. You can add as many links under one list as you want.

Step 3: Multiple Lists

If you want to show only a few links then one list is enough. But SBD shines when you create multiple Lists with 10-20 listings under each and assign all lists on the same topic to the same category.

Step 4: Pick Style, Publish

Go to any existing page/post or create a new page/post from WordPress backend. Open the [SBD] shortcode generator from your visual editor, choose your options, generate the shortcode and publish. Voila, your business directory is now live with a gorgeous looking template.
