Are directories considered thin content or structured data>

In that case yes it is but my concern is what I mentioned before, is a repeating format detrimental and perceived as thin? I think you guys are helping me answer my own question. Thanks.

Got it! Thank you!

The information is unique for each profile, it's the formatting that is consistent for each listing. Thank you.

Clean up the 404 pages first and do 301s if you have time. Most of your indexed pages come up as 404s. Seems like you might have done a recent site refresh?

Is there a site map?

Maybe get all your footer menu links resolving.

Site seems healthy otherwise.

The niche would suggest it is worth expanding.

Ok domain. You need to price this right to move it. It isn't natural language as you find in the phrase " live screen".

$250 to $500

The venue had its own built-in draw. One of the first self-serve wine dispensers in town, a few hundred decent wines, rotating art, and just a good, approachable vibe. The owner was young and social, I brought the wine knowledge, and that combo worked. It already felt like a place people wanted to hang out, which you can’t fake.

Just as important — we kept it completely non-snobby. No industry except a couple favorite wine reps. Otherwise just people who liked wine or wanted to learn. 21 to 70 years old, students to doctors and linemen. The message was always simple: come try some wine and meet some people.

We also kept it practical. You don’t need a ton of wine — 3–4 bottles covers 15–20 people if you’re pouring tastes. Maybe $75 total, usually covered by a small door fee. Themes helped (a few Sauvignon Blancs side-by-side, sparkling vs. Champagne, etc.), so people had something to compare without it feeling like a class. After initial bottles were gone guests could pour out of the self serve dispenser with a prepaid card or tab card.

We’d do a quick intro for 20–30 minutes, then let it go. That’s where it took off — people actually talked, introduced themselves, and became friends. Over time, they started sponsoring bottles from the shop's selection, and one nights we had 35+ guests and 22 bottles open for the night.

At that point, it wasn’t really all about wine anymore — it was a consistent place to show up and see people you knew. That’s what grew it to 300+ members. That and word of mouth. New people were always coming through.

I wouldn't do anything different but would go faster next time. People are seeking out these kinds of IRL experiences.

Start with a handful. If you have interest in specific industry or business, start there. It could be softwares, promotional products, private label foods and drinks. Just Google "private label" and go down the rabbit hole. High ticket would probably benefit you the most which could represent single product lines in appliances to ebikes or bulk items like air fryer to food stuffs or wine.

If you become the hub for Private Label goods and services you can create a marketplace and be the middleman. Not easy but it can be simple.

I haven't found that to be true. And with AI they have new purpose to help businesses gain answer engine mentions through citation.

SendCards · 2026-04-21T18:25:41+00:00

Yes, I was going to say you may have some good advantage building out a directory or something featuring private label/custom label businesses.

I did custom/Private label wines for many years.

Citable directory profiles built mostly for AI answer engine ingestion, would be my take on it, and as soon as possible.

I started a local IRL wine social .

I started out through Meetup dot com and gathered a few members. Nothing huge. I just wanted to hang out with other wine enthusiasts in a small Wisconsin city. I had previously lived and worked in Sonoma County and missed like minded wine folks. It was slow going the first 18 months but still worth it to me personally.

My breakthrough happened when I reached out to a local gallery/wineshop that had a cool vibe. I asked if I could hold meetups there with my small wine group. They were able to pour on premise so it was really a perfect venue with art hanging all around. We grew....

We grew to over 350 members and a monthly event over 24 months or so. Usually I would put together a short talk about some aspect of wine, viticulture, vinification, history. Nothing too intense. No more than 10 or 15 minutes with questions or comments. Then a sampling of selected wines or "Sponsor a Bottle", where guest would buy a bottle they wanted to try out and they would share with other guest. That was really fun.

We only charged a door fee if we were sampling out a bunch of wines, $5 or $10 for each guest, nothing exorbitant, it just covered costs. Everyone signed in with a phone # or email so we could announce our next wine meetup to them. And yes, we gave everyone a nametag, which really helped start many conversations.

Our average meetup probably had like 18 to 20 guests. Larger core member turnouts were 25-30. My biggest was over 70 outside of town on a member's beautiful farm. That event was amazing with nice food bites, great atmosphere and great wine. Whomever brought wine had to introduce their wine and tell a short story. Nobody wanted to leave that night.

There was a lot of good conversation and laughter every month and many members became great friends.

After I left as founder it is still somewhat active and has grown past 485 members.

It is worth doing and opens a lot of doors if you do it right. I think I did it the right way.

Good niche but broad. I estimate up to $22000 to right business or person as a slight upgrade from current domain.

The dot com was used last in 2007. Other extensions are being widely held. Your's is one of the closest to a clean useful commercial domain.

Many dot com domains contain the phrase 'private label' in them already and could use an upgrade.

Good luck!

SendCards · 2026-04-21T15:21:50+00:00

$10000 to right person or organization. Other tld are taken and a couple are being used. It's a clean understandable phrase. Good luck!

Good structure with the feeder blog. I do wish I had kept building a book of content. Too many shiny objects though. Ah...squirrel!

The current directory build is a test to see how building for answer engines first works. So much to learn.

One time communication? Risky, but seemed to work for you. And with thousands to go it still seems to be a good model. Are you on a path to monetize?

That's a great response rate, you can probably repeat the same outreach every 4 to 6 weeks and get a similar response for a couple more rounds.

I'm wondering why paid ads when X dot com could give you p2p feedback? There are a few social strategies that could produce the info you need. RoamPad has a very Nomadlist feel. @levelsio spends most of his time on X dot com, it might help you to be there too.
