The Directory · open · client-verified

Vendors. Operator-verified.

An open directory of vendors and service providers for brand-driven operators. No vendor is fully listed without verified client feedback — provisional listings appear here while they await their first reviews. Operators verify. Margo curates the surface. No paid placements, ever.

01

Client-verified.

Operators decide who's real. Vendors become fully listed only after they receive verified client feedback. No editorial gate to entry — feedback is the gate to social proof.

02

No paid placements.

Vendors don't pay to be listed. Featured rotation isn't sponsored. You're getting the real list, not the highest-bidder list.

03

Open directory.

Every vendor working with brand-driven operators can apply. Provisional listings appear here while awaiting feedback — visible, but clearly marked.

Marketing strategy and growth operations. Fractional CMO/COO.

Best for: Founder-led brands looking for operational growth strategy

Paige is a rockstar. She stepped into my business as a Fractional COO/Integrator during a season of massive transformation. We were navigating a complete team overhaul while implementing a new business strategy and vision for growth. She single-handedly led this transition, onboarded and trained a new team member, conducted a thorough systems and backend audit, built new operational systems, and managed a major campaign launch. What impressed me most was that she wasn't just executing. She was constantly bringing strategic insight and a bigger vision for where the business could go next. Throughout the entire process, I felt deeply supported, understood, and cared for as a business owner. Paige has a rare combination of operational excellence, strategic thinking, and visionary leadership. And on top of all that, she is an absolute joy to work with. Open-minded, thoughtful, collaborative, and incredibly capable. I recommend her wholeheartedly. Any business would be lucky to have her on their team.alexis

Writing & Editing

1

Copywriter and marketing strategist

Working with Lianna is nothing short of a dream - as a coach and strategist, she gives pragmatic, useful, and high-ROI feedback. Highly recommend her for any of her copy-specific services/solutions, but the real magic is when she takes a holistic view of your product and vision and uses copy to cultivate that experience for your users/buyers at every touchpoint.Paige

Apply or recommend · open intake

Anyone can apply. Clients decide who's fully listed.

The Directory is open to any vendor working with brand-driven operators. Apply directly or get recommended by an operator who's used you. New listings start as provisional — visible in the directory, clearly marked, awaiting their first verified client feedback. Clients move you from provisional to fully listed, not us.

For operators · recommending someone

Tell us who you'd recommend. We email them to confirm their listing — it stays hidden until they approve it, then appears as provisional. They become fully listed once a client leaves verified feedback. Your recommendation moves them up the queue, but doesn't replace client verification.

For vendors · applying directly

Apply and you're added as a provisional listing — visible immediately, marked as provisional until clients confirm your work. No paid placements, ever. The directory is free.

We'll send a note letting them know they've been added.

The directory is open

Real names. Real recommendations.

The Directory is free to use, free to recommend into — the little black book operators kept asking us for. We maintain it because the same names kept coming up, and we got tired of typing them into one-off emails.
