Global Business Directory Website Build

I want to build a professional and SEO-optimized World Business Directory Website where business owners from any country can add their business listings — either Free or through Paid Plans.

The website should automatically detect the user’s country and display pricing in the visitor’s local currency, while allowing me (the admin in India) to receive all settlements in INR.
The system should also include a Blog Section for SEO and monetization (AdSense + affiliate + sponsored posts).

Core Functional Modules Required:
1. CMS Platform

CMS: WordPress or Drupal (developer’s recommendation based on scalability & SEO).


Role-based user access (Admin, Free User, Paid User).

2. Business Listing System

Fields:
Business Name | Category | Subcategory | City | Country | Description | Contact | Website Link (for paid) | Photos (max 5) | Social Links | Map Embed
