Vendor referrals

Show up where people already share who they trust
Your best customers come from referrals — realtors, mom groups, neighbors, and pros who keep a vendor list. Claim your business profile, publish one main ReferLyst Card, opt into Discover, and get added to Lysts with tap-to-call, reviews, and optional referral codes.
The problem
Sound familiar? These are the pain points people search for before they find a better way.
- Word-of-mouth get recommended as a local business works but you can't track who referred whom
- You're not on the curated lists where your best customers already recommend you
- Referral perks are informal — no code, no redemption workflow
- Competitors with referral programs win warm intros you never see

Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from a typical business directory?
- ReferLyst is recommendation-first. You show up on curator Lysts people already trust, with tap-to-call and referral codes — not a pay-to-rank ad slot.
- How do list owners add my business?
- They save you from Discover, paste your profile link when building a vendor list, or approve you from a public join page. Linked profiles keep your phone and email current.
- Can anyone leave a review?
- Logged-in visitors can leave a review on your claimed profile. Reviews include ratings and context — built for trust from referrers, not anonymous spam.
- Do I need a referral program?
- No — many businesses start with a profile and main Card. Add a program when you want list owners to show a perk and track redemptions.
