FAQ
Questions, answered.
Everything you need to know before shipping your directory.
Row.so is an AI directory builder that turns a niche prompt or Google Sheet into a live, SEO-ready directory you can monetize with paid listings — no code required. Customize design, fields, filters, and Map Locator store maps; accept payments via Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Polar, or PayPal with 0% platform take rate.
Nope. If you can use a browser, you can launch a polished directory with Row.so. Design, hosting, SEO, payments and analytics are included — zero code.
Three easy ways: (1) AI Prompt: type your niche (e.g. "AI writing tools" or "Coffee shops") and Row.so generates a complete starter directory in seconds — descriptions, logos, categories and tags included. (2) Empty Canvas: start fresh with a blank directory and configure custom fields and listings manually. (3) Google Sheets: connect an existing spreadsheet to populate listings with two-way sync.
It works both ways. Changes in Row.so sync to Google Sheets in real time, and Sheet edits sync back about every minute — or anytime you hit Manual sync. Your team can keep working in whichever tool they prefer.
A single Row.so Workspace can host multiple directories. Each directory can connect independently to its own Google account to sync live listings with Google Sheets (with real-time two-way sync). You can also invite unlimited team members and collaborators to your workspace with zero per-seat fees.
Beyond generating a full directory from a prompt, it visits URLs, writes on-brand descriptions, extracts logos and Open Graph images, suggests categories, generates tags and flags duplicates or spam — automatically.
Yes. Point any custom domain — like directory.yourbrand.com — and we auto-provision SSL, edge caching and structured data. Zero DevOps.
Connect Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Polar or PayPal. Businesses and creators pay you to get listed on your directory or to buy featured homepage placement spots (one-time, monthly or yearly). All payments go directly into your account — Row.so takes 0% commission.
Yes. Visual editor for home, category and detail pages, Card Grid, Upvote List, or Map Locator views, custom filters, custom fields (text, number, date, tags, URL, location…), themes, fonts and custom CSS/JS.
Yes. Switch to the Map Locator template for an interactive map + list with near-me, directions, and geocoded pins — the same experience as locator.row.so. Free OpenStreetMap works out of the box; optionally bring your own Google Maps or Mapbox key.
Yes. Built-in commenting and upvoting lets your community engage with listings. You can also enable public submission forms with moderation — free or paid.
Absolutely. Build about, pricing, blog or any custom page using our drag-and-drop page builder — no separate CMS needed.
Yes. Every subscription plan (monthly or yearly) includes a 7-day free trial. You add a card at checkout — nothing is charged for 7 days. Cancel before day 7 and you will not be billed. Lifetime plans are one-time purchases and do not include a trial.
Yes. Cancel anytime — no lock-in, no cancellation fees. During the free trial, cancel before day 7 to avoid any charge. On a paid plan, access continues until the end of the current period. Yearly plans also include a 14-day money-back window after the trial converts.
Every listing gets a fast SEO page with clean URLs, dynamic OG images, schema markup, and an auto-generated sitemap. Row.so also optimizes for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO via llms.txt) so AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity can index and cite your directory. Point your own domain with SSL included.
