How many listings can I have?
Your monthly membership comes with 4 (four) seats/listings. You can purchase additional seat (listings) up to a maximum of 8.
Can I include images of my work or feature my portfolio?
Absolutely, and it’s encouraged. You will be able to have a title image on each listing and then a 5-image gallery on each listing page. Including images is likely to increase your engagement from seekers/project owners.
How do I know the right people are going to see my profile and listings?
We place the directory in front of the people you want. After 10 years in the industry, we recognize the most valued prospects for our vendors include: project managers, project coordinators, interior designers, architects, developers, business owners, event planners, office managers, property managers and professionals alike. We want to ensure Knode grows to suit our vendors, so if there is a target market you’d like us to gear our outreach and ads towards then let us know.
Each vendor profile and listing page is fully optimized, increasing visibility beyond the platform. That means that someone googling “outdoor planter supply in Vancouver” is likely to show up as a search result, and then direct them to that profile on Knode. Our SEO and ads team analyzes this data frequently to tweak our campaigns accordingly.
Does my company have to directly offer the product or service? What if we sub-contract?
No, if you have a proven business model of subb-contracting that was included in your application that is fine. There are various ways you can set up your listings to ensure the project owners understand this is your model. For example, Living Wall + Supplier, Contractor.
Why does Knode cap the quantity of listings per category?
We do this for a few reasons. First, it provides solid value for our vendors knowing they are not getting lost in a sea of competitors in their region. Second, it provides qualified and vetted results for our seekers. This also allows our team to ensure that each category has offerings per region, providing growth opportunities for various businesses in the green design-build industry.
