Most local directories were built for an internet that doesn’t exist anymore. We built the next one.
Customers now ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity for local recommendations. The legacy directories haven’t structured their pages for that. And they still sell each business’s customers to its competitors. We’re fixing both problems.
Where this started.
Nuclear Directories began with one observation. Local businesses pay $250 to $600 a month for Yelp ads or Angi subscriptions. Those platforms then route the same customer to three or eight competing businesses. The business owner pays to compete against four other people who paid the same fee. It’s an extraction model dressed up as marketing.
The other half of the problem showed up next. ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini are quickly becoming how people look for plumbers, dentists, restaurants, and lawyers. Those engines cite from structured web pages. They favor sites with full Schema.org markup, server-side rendering, and llms.txt files. Almost no directory has bothered to do that work. So small businesses keep paying for visibility on platforms while a new generation of customers searches somewhere those platforms don’t reach.
What we built.
Every page on this site is engineered for citation by AI engines. The structured data is complete. The HTML renders on the server. The page tells an AI engine exactly what the business does, where, and how a customer can reach them. When someone asks ChatGPT for a dentist in Hollywood, our pages are ready to be the answer.
For business owners, we charge a transparent subscription that includes a monthly pool of qualified leads at no extra cost. Pro is $29 a month. Premium is $99. Advanced, which adds a custom AI chat that answers customer questions, books appointments, and captures leads on the business’s own page, is $189. Cancel any time. No annual contracts.
When a business exceeds the free monthly pool, the per-lead price depends on industry. Salons and food trucks pay $10 per qualified lead. General home services pay $25. General dentists, lawyers, and similar pay $50. Personal injury lawyers and a few other premium-value categories pay $125. Those prices undercut every legacy competitor by a wide margin. They also reflect what each lead is actually worth to the business receiving it.
We refund leads from bots, duplicates, and spam automatically. Customers only pay for what’s real.
Where this goes.
The Advanced tier’s AI chat is the first version of something bigger. We think every business page should be able to answer customer questions, schedule appointments, and capture leads as if there were a person at the front desk. That capability used to require enterprise software costing $2,500 a month or more. We charge $189 for it.
The larger goal is putting every legitimate small business in front of customers at the moment those customers ask an AI engine for help. There’s a generation of local businesses about to be invisible to the next wave of search if nobody helps them get structured for it. We want that to be us, and we want the businesses listed with us to win because of it.
