If your Partner Directory member profile is created with care, it will serve as a 24/7 magnet that will draw your ideal clients to you!
What is the Zoho Partner Directory?
The Zoho Partner Directory is a public listing of all Zoho Consulting Partners across the globe. Every partner gets a profile page where you can:
Show where you operate: Whether you serve local businesses or work with clients globally
Explain what you do: From CRM implementation to building custom apps, automation, training, or integrations
Highlight your expertise: Display your certifications and partner tier to build credibility
Be easy to contact: So prospects can quickly get in touch
In short, it’s your digital business card, but it has the advantage of living inside Zoho’s trusted ecosystem where businesses that are interested in or already using Zoho solutions look for help.
Why the Partner Directory is more than a lead generation source
Being listed isn’t just about having your name out there. It’s about being discoverable at the right moment, when customers are actively looking for help.

Although your profile may primarily focus on a specific country or city, clients can search for your services globally.
