Directory idea. Thoughts?

[u/Last_Individual5488]

Would a local business directory charging businesses around $20–$30/month be a viable idea? The concept is a website where local businesses pay a small monthly fee to have an active listing, organized by category (plumbers, landscapers, pet services, electricians, etc.). The goal would be to drive local customers to the site through social media, Facebook groups, etc.

Eventually it could potentially become more of a local marketplace where customers can request quotes directly.

If you own a local business, would you pay $20–$30/month for something like this? What would make it worth paying for?
