Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about listings, accounts, reviews, diaspora hubs, and how AllofBD works for businesses and customers.
Getting started
What is AllofBD?
AllofBD is a business and community directory for Bangladesh and Bangladeshi communities worldwide. Customers use it to discover local services, diaspora hubs, and trusted organizations; owners use it to publish listings, receive leads, and build credibility.
Who can create a listing?
Authorized owners, managers, or representatives of real businesses and community organizations. You must be able to verify contact details and accurately represent the entity you list. See our Listing Guidelines for eligibility and prohibited content.
How do I add my business?
Create a free account, click Add Listing, choose your category and location, then complete your profile (description, hours, photos, and contact details). Submissions are reviewed before they appear publicly.
Is listing free?
Yes — you can publish a basic listing on the Free plan. Paid plans (Starter, Growth, Pro, and Enterprise) add more listings, photos, booking, analytics, featured placement credits, and team seats. Compare options on the Packages page.
Managing your listing
How do I edit my listing after it is published?
Sign in and open your Dashboard. From there you can update hours, photos, description, contact information, and services. Keep details current — stale listings may be flagged for review.
Can I manage more than one business?
Yes. One account may manage multiple legitimate businesses or branch locations, subject to your plan limits. Each physical location needs its own listing; do not create duplicates for the same place.
What if my business is already listed?
Search for your business first. If a listing already exists, use the claim or ownership request flow instead of creating a duplicate. Contact support with proof of ownership if you need help.
Why was my listing rejected or paused?
Common reasons include incomplete profiles, wrong category or location, keyword-stuffed names, duplicate listings, prohibited content, or suspicious activity. Review the Listing Guidelines and fix the issues, then resubmit or contact support with your listing URL.
Do diaspora businesses outside Bangladesh qualify?
Yes. List your business in the country and city where you actually operate (for example New York, Toronto, or London). Use accurate diaspora hub locations — do not tag a Bangladesh city if you only serve customers abroad.
Reviews, verification & trust
Can customers leave reviews?
Yes. Registered users may rate and review businesses they have genuinely used. Owners should respond professionally and report fake or abusive reviews through the listing report tools.
What is the AllofBD trust ladder?
Listings progress through Claimed → Contactable → Complete profile → Trade license verified → Trusted. Complete profiles with accurate NAP data, photos, and (where available) verified documents rank higher in trust signals.
How does AllofBD keep information accurate?
We combine owner updates, community reports, moderation review, and verification checks. We do not guarantee every field is perfect, but misleading or abandoned listings can be corrected, paused, or removed.
Can I buy or incentivize reviews?
No. Review manipulation — including paid reviews, self-reviews, or competitor smear campaigns — violates our policies and may result in listing removal.
Search & discovery
How do customers find businesses on AllofBD?
Through keyword search, category browse, city and location pages, diaspora hub pages, and community organization directories. Complete, accurate listings with relevant categories perform best.
How can I improve my visibility?
Use your real business name, pick the most specific category, add quality photos, write a clear description, keep hours updated, earn genuine reviews, and consider a paid plan with featured placement credits where available.
Do you offer advertising or sponsored placement?
Yes. Featured and sponsored options help qualified listings stand out in search and category results. Packages and credits vary by plan. Contact us for custom campaigns or enterprise visibility.
What is the Community directory?
The Community section highlights Bangladeshi associations, mosques, NGOs, and civic organizations — especially in diaspora hubs. Filter by country and city, or browse all organizations.
Bookings, leads & dashboard
Can customers book appointments through my listing?
Booking is available on eligible categories for Starter plans and above. Owners enable booking from the dashboard; customers pick an available slot on the listing page.
How do I receive customer inquiries?
Leads arrive in your Dashboard inbox (and by email when configured). Growth and higher plans add SLA tracking and advanced analytics to help you respond faster.
Can I contact a business directly from a listing?
Yes. Listings show phone, email, website, and map links when the owner provides them. AllofBD does not mask legitimate business contact details on published profiles.
Accounts, billing & privacy
How do I change my password or email?
Open Dashboard → Profile (or Account settings) while signed in. Use the password reset link on the login page if you are locked out.
Where can I see plan limits and upgrade?
Visit the Packages page to compare Free, Starter, Growth, Pro, and Enterprise plans. Upgrades are applied to your account after checkout through our ListingPro package integration.
How do I report a listing or review?
Use the Report control on the listing or review. Include a short reason (spam, wrong address, impersonation, etc.). Our moderation team reviews reports and may contact the owner.
How is my data handled?
We process account and listing data to operate the directory, as described in our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. Do not publish sensitive personal data (national IDs, private medical records) in listing content.
No questions match your search. Try another keyword or contact support.
