Project description:
"I’m hiring an experienced web developer or small team to build [login to view URL], a public-facing directory and lead-generation website focused on local repair industries — computer, appliance, HVAC, auto, phone, electrical, and more.

The platform should allow homeowners and small businesses to find trusted repair professionals in their city, while each service provider receives exclusive leads for their area (one verified provider per category per city).

This project will integrate or share infrastructure with my other platform, [login to view URL], which handles the backend multi-tenant SEO and lead routing system.

Scope of Work
1. Front-End Directory Website

Build a modern, mobile-first directory with city and category navigation.

Structure examples:

Lead form (“Request Service”) and click-to-call buttons.

Dynamic provider details (if verified provider exists).

Schema markup (LocalBusiness, FAQ, Review).

2. Lead-Generation Integration

Form submissions go to Zoho CRM or [login to view URL] API for routing.

Twilio integration for unique call/SMS tracking numbers per city/provider.

Optional: call recording, lead scoring, and analytics dashboard.

3. Admin Portal or CMS

Add/edit cities, categories, and providers.

Manage exclusive provider assignments (one per city per category).

View lead metrics and activity logs.

4. SEO & Technical Structure

City- and service-optimized URLs.

XML sitemaps, canonical tags, and Open Graph data.

Internal linking between categories and nearby cities.

Fast load speeds and clean HTML hierarchy for Google indexing.

Option B – Scalable Platform (Custom Code)

Back-end: Node.js + Prisma + PostgreSQL (Supabase/Neon)

Hosting: Vercel or [login to view URL] (wildcard subdomains if needed)

Integrations: Zoho CRM API, Twilio, Resend/Postmark for notifications

Ideal Freelancer / Team:

Experience building directory or marketplace websites.

Strong SEO knowledge (local and structured data).

Skilled with API integrations (Zoho, Twilio, Zapier/Make).

Portfolio showing similar lead-gen or local listing projects.

Good communication and clean documentation habits.

Screening Questions (Please answer in your bid):

Have you built a directory or local-listing system before?

Which stack (A or B) do you recommend and why?

How would you keep each city/category page unique for SEO?

What CRM or telephony integrations have you implemented previously?

How would you manage city/category expansion efficiently?

Why This Project Matters:

[login to view URL] will connect customers with verified, exclusive local repair professionals — giving small businesses more leads while helping consumers find trusted help quickly.

Once the MVP proves successful, there will be ongoing development opportunities — including verified provider dashboards, subscription billing, reviews, and integration with [login to view URL]’s back-end engine.

We’re looking for the best balance of speed, cost-effectiveness, and long-term reliability to get this live quickly.
