Get a directory built that becomes your industry's authority
The Build Studio builds industry directories designed to become the authority: every player in your industry listed, ranked, and searchable, with you at the door, at a price you name. Whoever holds the list of an industry holds the industry, because a good directory becomes where buyers start and where being listed starts to matter. We build the data structure, the profiles, the search and ranking, the submission flow, and the SEO foundation that makes each listing a page Google wants. The studio has shipped directories among its 47 live apps, including Africraft, where Africa's photographers and videographers get discovered, and Web3 Wikis, the support arm of Web3. Name your industry, name your price, and we will answer honestly.

Honest questions
- How does the directory get filled before anyone submits?
- We seed it. Part of the build is assembling the initial dataset from public sources, so the directory launches looking like the authority rather than an empty form. Listees then claim and enrich their own profiles.
- How does a directory make money?
- Featured placements, claimed-profile upgrades, lead routing, or sponsorships, depending on your industry. We build the model you choose into the product rather than bolting it on later.
- Will Google actually rank hundreds of listing pages?
- If they are genuinely useful, structured properly, and interlinked with intent, yes, that is how directories win search. We build ranking products for a living, and the SEO groundwork is part of the build, not an add-on.
Name your price on this.

Service 016 · three takes
The films we shoot for this one
These are the scripts we actually film, published openly. Plain text is spoken out loud. Anything in the marked panels is for the camera or the screen behind us and is never read aloud. Three takes of the same service, so we can pick the one that fits where the film is going. The first is open below. Open the other two to read them.
Nobody ever made the list
Opens inside the worry this service answers, and takes its time. Made for someone who already has this problem in mind, so it fits this page and it fits an audience that already knows us.
There has never been a proper list of everyone in your industry. You have looked for it, more than once, and ended up back in your own notes.
You could build it. You are just not sure it is worth bothering anyone about, and you have no idea where you would even start.
A directory that becomes the authority. Profiles, search, ranking, submissions, and a page for each listing that Google actually wants.
Name your industry and name your price.
Take two · the direct cutFilm 016 · 15 to 25 secondsWhoever holds the list holds the industry
Opens on a claim or a visible result, with the offer inside the first ten seconds. Built to be shot with a screen recording playing behind you. Made for the feed and for paid placement, where nobody was looking for us.

Take three · the standing offerFilm 016 · 15 to 30 secondsWhoever holds the list
Names the service in the first breath instead of hiding it behind a hook, then offers to build it. It puts the barriers on the floor: you name the price, and not knowing how any of it works is our job rather than yours. It also makes the promise most people never get, that we stay with the thing until it is real. Made for someone who has been carrying this idea around for a long time and needs to hear that somebody will actually take it on.
