Classified Ad Software Features: Convenient Registered User Search

All classified scripts based on the WorksForWeb platform, including iLister, offer a great way of searching among registered users in a particular user group or on the entire website.

Search results will be a list of users found with their brief descriptions. Each item on the user search results page contains a very brief overview of the company, links to the full company profile, all listings by this company, and a contact user page (all modifiable via templates).

The admin can further customize and add various modules to the User Search page, determine which user groups are available for search (e.g., individual users should probably not be available for search), and add additional user details as search parameters. (Read iLister user manual)

How You Can Use this Function For Your Business

Suppose you own a bike catalog. Your website has been targeting two types of bike sellers: individuals as part of the For Sale by Owner (FSBO) setup, and corporate vendors such as dealer companies, each having a number of bikes to list on your website. 

Further, every dealer has many potential or existing customers. Dealers are likely to add links to their profile pages on your website to their business cards and flyers. This will definitely increase the popularity of your website and will provide a steady source of target visitors, and will expand the outreach for your customers among the bike dealers.

Here is an example of the corporate user profile.

Moreover, many customers choose what bike dealer they want to work with. The dealer search functionality helps find the best among a number of bike dealers in this particular town. Therefore, your website becomes not only a platform to help people find a new or used bike, but also a bike dealer business directory with a huge marketing perspective for those listed on it.
