# Partner Directories — Public Partner Listing Pages

> Publish a branded public page listing your partners, with visitor search and filtering, individual profile pages, and automatic lead generation.

A Partner Directory is a public-facing web page that showcases your partner ecosystem to the world. Potential customers, prospects, and businesses can browse your partners, filter by location or specialization, view individual partner profiles, and submit contact requests — all without logging in to anything.

<Warning>
  Partner Directories is a **purchasable addon** for Kiflo. Contact your Kiflo account manager or Kiflo support to add it to your subscription before following the steps in this guide.
</Warning>

You manage all directories from **Manage > Partner Directories**. Each published directory is accessible via a public URL at `https://{subdomain}.directory.kiflo.com`.

## Create and publish your first directory

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Partner Directories">
    Go to **Manage > Partner Directories**. If this is your first directory, the list will be empty.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a new directory">
    Click **New directory**. Enter an internal **name** for the directory — this is for your reference only and will not be shown to visitors. Click **Create**.

    Your new directory opens in the configuration view with a **Private** status, meaning it is not yet publicly visible.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure General settings">
    In the **General settings** tab, review the **Page** field. This is the URL slug for your directory. If you create multiple directories, each page name must be unique.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up branding">
    Open the **Branding** tab and configure:

    * Your **primary color** and **logos**.
    * **CTA button colors** to match your brand.
    * **Social media links** (Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram).
    * **Privacy policy** and **legal notice** URLs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure filters">
    Open the **Filters** tab and enable the filter criteria most relevant to your audience — such as location, language, or project type. These become the search filters visitors use on the directory listing page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up the contact form">
    Open the **Contact form** tab. Toggle individual fields on or off — **First name**, **Last name**, **Email**, **Company Name** — and drag to reorder them. This form appears on every partner's profile page and is how visitors send contact requests.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Design partner profile pages">
    Open the **Profile page layout** tab to set the structure each partner's public profile page follows:

    * Edit the default sections: **Company Description**, **Partnership Description**, and **Contact Partner**.
    * Add **Rich text** sections for any additional custom content.
    * Reorder sections by dragging and dropping.

    Partners fill in each section from their portal once you invite them.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add tracking scripts (optional)">
    Open the **Custom HTML/JS** tab if you need to add analytics or third-party tools:

    * **Head section** — code added to the end of the `<head>` tag (for example, Google Tag Manager).
    * **Footer section** — code added to the end of the `<body>` tag.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite partners">
    Open the **Partner profiles** tab and click **Invite partners**. Choose how to select partners from three methods:

    * **By Partner(s)** — hand-pick specific individual partners.
    * **By Program(s)** — invite all partners enrolled in specific program levels.
    * **By Group(s)** — invite all partners belonging to specific groups.

    Preview the list of partners who will receive the invitation email, select an email template, then click **Invite**. Invited partners receive an email prompting them to fill in their profile from their partner portal.

    <Note>
      A partner can only appear in one directory at a time. If a partner is already listed in another directory, they will not appear in the invitation selection list.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish the directory">
    When you are satisfied with the configuration and have invited at least some partners, click **Publish**. Confirm by clicking **Yes, I'm sure**. The directory status changes to **Public** and your directory goes live at its configured URL. Click **Open partner directory** to view it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Invite partners to an existing directory

You can add more partners to a published directory at any time — you do not need to unpublish it first.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the directory">
    Go to **Manage > Partner Directories** and click the directory you want to update.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go to Partner profiles">
    Select the **Partner profiles** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send invitations">
    Click **Invite partners** in the top-right corner. Choose your invitation method — by individual partner, program, or group — preview the list, select an email template, and click **Invite**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Customize directory branding

Open your directory and go to the **Branding** tab to adjust colors, logos, the headline section, CTA button styles, social media links, and footer legal links at any time. Changes take effect immediately on the live directory.

## Customize partner profile pages

Open your directory, go to the **Profile page layout** tab, and add, remove, or reorder sections. Any changes to the layout apply to all partner profile pages in that directory. Partners update their own profile content from their partner portal.

After inviting a partner, you can also edit their profile directly from your side:

* On the **Partner profiles** tab, click on the partner's name.
* Edit their company name, website, logo, headline, descriptions, and filter values.
* Update any sections defined in the profile page layout.

## Lead generation from directories

Every directory contact form automatically creates a lead in Kiflo when a visitor submits it. To review these leads, navigate to your Leads section and filter by source. You can use this data to measure the business impact of your directory and identify which partner profiles generate the most inbound interest.

<Tip>
  You can create multiple directories for different audiences — for example, one directory per region, one per partner type (agencies vs. technology partners), or one per product line. Each directory is managed and branded independently.
