Directory — get found, get leads, claim your shop free

Who it's for

The Directory has two audiences. For customers searching "wrap shop near me," it's a public, no-login place to browse and compare vehicle-wrap installers by city and request a quote. For shop owners, it's where your shop already has a listing (we built the directory from public data) — and where you can claim it for free to start receiving those quote requests and running your shop on Wraptor.

Where it fits

The Directory is the front door to Wraptor — a public, search-engine-friendly set of pages at wraptor.io/shops, separate from your dashboard. It's one of your public customer touchpoints alongside the Track, proof-approval, and pay pages, but it sits before a customer ever becomes your customer: it's how new work finds you. Every quote request a customer sends becomes a lead in your Marketing Lead Inbox, and claiming a listing is the first rung on the Plans ladder (a free claim, then paid tiers when you want more).

Overview

The Directory is a drill-down: national → state → city → shop.

  • City pages ("Best Wrap Shops in Austin") list every installer in town with ratings, services, and brands, plus FAQs and a "get quotes from all shops" broadcast option.
  • Shop profile pages show one shop in full — services, brands used, a location map, an about section, FAQs, and a quote button.
  • Claimed shops (ones on Wraptor) wear a green "Powered by Wraptor" badge, show clickable phone/website, and — on paid plans — display recent work, social links, and a quick-contact email.
  • Unclaimed shops still appear, but route customers through a quote form instead of exposing contact details — and show an "Is this your shop?" prompt to the owner.

Screens & navigation

The Directory lives on the public web, not in your dashboard. Customers arrive from Google or a shared link. As an owner, you'll usually find your listing by searching your shop name, or by clicking the claim link in the email we send when a customer requests a quote from your listing. There's nothing to navigate to inside the app — once you claim, your work moves into the normal Wraptor dashboard.

Capabilities

Get found

  • Your shop is listed by city and service with ratings pulled from public data — so customers comparing installers can find you.

Capture quote requests

  • Customers send a quote request (name, vehicle, service, timeline) right from your listing — no account needed on their end.

Broadcast to a whole city

  • Undecided customers can send one request to every shop in their city at once; each shop gets its own lead.

Claim your listing free

  • Owners claim in a couple of clicks. Claiming creates your free Wraptor shop and unlocks the customer's locked contact info.

Stand out on a paid plan

  • Paid shops show recent work photos, social links, and a quick-contact email right on the public profile.

Step-by-step tasks

  1. (Customer) Request a quote from a shop

    1. Open a shop's profile page.
    2. Click Get a quote and fill in your name, contact, vehicle, service, and timeline.
    3. Submit — the shop is notified and responds directly. No account needed.

  2. (Customer) Get quotes from every shop in a city

    1. On a city page, scroll to "Can't decide? Get quotes from multiple shops."
    2. Fill in your details once and submit.
    3. Each shop in that city receives your request and can reach out.

  3. (Owner) Claim your listing for free

    1. Find your shop (search its name, or use the claim link from a lead email).
    2. Click Claim This Listing / Claim your listing free.
    3. Sign up — this creates your free Wraptor shop and marks the listing claimed.
    4. You land in your Lead Inbox, where the customer's full contact info is now unlocked.

  4. (Owner) Upgrade to unlock your public profile

    1. Pick a paid tier in Plans.
    2. Add social links and a logo in Settings, and create work in Studio.
    3. Your public profile now shows recent work, follow links, and quick contact.

Settings & permissions

Browsing and quoting are public Anyone can browse the directory and send a quote request without logging in. There's no permission to configure.

Claiming requires sign-up Claiming a listing creates a shop account on the free claim tier. After that, who can see what inside Wraptor follows the normal Team roles.

Listing data is curated by Wraptor You don't add or edit your raw listing yourself — the directory is built from public data and managed by the Wraptor team. To correct details, contact support. Once you claim, your own Settings, logo, social links, and Studio work drive the richer parts of your profile.

Paid perks Recent work, social links, and quick-contact email on your public profile are paid-plan features — see Plans.

Tips & common pitfalls

  • Leads land in your Lead Inbox. Quote requests from the directory show up in Marketing → Lead Inbox. If you claimed a listing that already had requests waiting, they're linked to you automatically.
  • Unclaimed listings hide your phone and website. That's deliberate — it pushes customers to the quote form so the lead is captured. Claim the listing to show clickable contact details.
  • The "Powered by Wraptor" badge is a trust signal. Claimed shops get it; it tells customers you're an active, reachable business.
  • A claim is free and gets you the contact info. The customer's name and contact stay locked on the public teaser until you claim — claiming is what unlocks them.
  • Want to look your best? Upgrade and add content. Recent work and social links only appear on paid plans with Studio renders and Settings links filled in.
  • Thin pages may not show in Google. Listings with little information (no reviews, no website/phone) and very small cities are intentionally kept out of search indexing — claiming and adding detail helps.
  • The broadcast option sends to competitors too. When a customer broadcasts to a whole city, every shop gets the lead — speed of response matters.
  • Marketing — directory leads and claims flow into the Lead Inbox.
  • Plans — claiming starts you on the free tier; paid tiers unlock profile perks.
  • Studio — the "Recent Work" gallery on paid profiles.
  • Quotes — a claimed shop's CTA sends customers to request a quote; leads can become quotes.
  • Jobs — a directory lead can turn into a job.
  • Inbox (WraptorMail) — the quick-contact email shown on paid profiles.
  • Settings — logo, social links, and details shown on your claimed profile.
  • Track — the public page customers use after they become your customer.
  • Onboarding — claiming feeds straight into first-run setup.
