Listing platform with a grid of listings and a map

A marketplace has two customers and a chicken-and-egg problem. The product has to make listing effortless for one side, finding and trusting for the other, and earn money without getting in the way. We design for that balance from the first screen.

We have built a B2B listing network end to end — listing wizard, verification, credits and member workspaces — so your platform starts from patterns that already work in production, adapted to your market.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to build a marketplace?

A listing MVP with search, accounts, maps and moderation starts at $3,900. A full marketplace with verification, payments and messaging starts at $8,500; platforms with mobile apps start at $15,000.

How do marketplaces make money?

Common models are commissions, paid or featured listings, seller subscriptions and lead fees. We help you pick the model that fits your market and build it in.

Can listing pages rank on Google?

Yes. We generate fast, structured listing and category pages with schema markup and sitemaps — that's how most marketplaces win organic traffic.

Can users pay each other through the platform?

Yes, using marketplace payment solutions (such as Stripe Connect or local equivalents) that split payments and handle payouts.

Do you build the mobile apps too?

Yes — iOS and Android apps sharing the same backend and accounts as the web platform.

How do we solve the chicken-and-egg problem?

We usually launch with one side seeded (imported or invited listings) and the smallest feature set that delivers value — then grow from real usage data.
