Challenge

Thousands of thin rows, inconsistent descriptions, and a CMS that required training every new editor. Deadlines slipped before launch.

Solution

Imported via Sheets, ran AI enrichment for on-brand descriptions and logos, then let editors keep working in the spreadsheet they already knew.

  • Google Sheets 2-way sync
  • AI enrichment
  • Custom fields & filters
  • Team editorial workflow

Results

3,200 rows enriched overnight. Zero CMS training for new editors. Launch stayed on schedule with consistent listing quality.

“AI enrichment is genuinely the future of directories. It wrote clean, on-brand descriptions for 3,200 rows overnight. I couldn’t tell it wasn’t human.”
