The best way is with\u00a0UltimateWB\u00a0– it has a built-in listings directory app with lots of features that you can use and customize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose who can post, and if you want to charge for postings, or for special features, like photos, videos, or making a listing bold, highlighted, or featured. You can also allow for some free posts, and set a limit on how many are free, before charging. You can allow users to sell an item within their listing, and optionally charge a percentage transaction fee when the user makes a sale. Organize listings into types, categories, and sub categories. You can allow multiple categories to be added to a listing, and can charge extra for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members can find\u00a0listings from each category index or the\u00a0Listings Search \/ Advanced Search Tools. If you choose to use Location Menus field type for the states\/cities, rather than the text field type, you can also include a Distance Search tool and customize the distance options, as well as whether to display it in km and\/or miles. Integrate the listings with Google maps. Include Social Share Buttons: Facebook Like, Twitter Share, Google+1, and Whatsapp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
