What Is Allsorts Directory?

What it is

Allsorts Directory is a South African services marketplace — a way to find real, verified plumbers, electricians, builders, painters, web developers and other service professionals, searchable by category and location. It's built by Allsorts Web Designers, the same team behind Allsorts CRM, QR Code Pro, and Allsorts Bookings.

Why it exists

Open directories tend to have the same problems: anyone can list a "business" with no check that it's real, reviews can be left by anyone regardless of whether they ever actually hired the business, and a single request often gets sold to several competing providers at once with no visibility into that. Allsorts Directory is built around fixing those specific problems rather than just being another listing site.

When to use it

As a consumer: whenever you need a real, checked service provider and don't want to gamble on an unverified listing. As a business: whenever you want a listing that's actually worth something because it went through a real verification gate, not a self-service form that's live the moment you submit it.

How it works, in short

• Every business listing passes email verification and a free web-presence check, reviewed by a human before it goes live.
• Reviews can only be left by a consumer against a real, completed request on the platform.
• Search is location-aware — see How Search Works.
