“Connection creates opportunity — and every business deserves both.” — Vincent Theophil, Founder & CEO, Global Business Pages

RICHMOND, VA, VA, UNITED STATES, November 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ —

Global Business Pages (GBP), the AI-first business directory on a mission to list 100 million verified businesses worldwide, announces the launch of Global Trade Connect — a breakthrough feature that leverages AI-driven search, semantic SEO, and local-to-global discovery to help businesses connect, trade, and scale across borders.

Available for just $1.30/year, Global Trade Connect empowers micro-producers, small manufacturers, women-led businesses, and local entrepreneurs to access new buyers, suppliers, and international markets — all without costly consultants or complicated systems.

Introducing Global Trade Connect: AI + Local SEO Meets Global Discovery

Global Trade Connect is embedded directly into each GBP business listing, turning static directory entries into dynamic, vectorized profiles that facilitate intent-based connections.

Key capabilities include:

• One-click buyer-supplier connections — verified and ready to transact

• AI-powered matchmaking based on industry, product, and trade intent

• Country-to-country discovery for seamless global trade

• Direct messaging, quote requests, and partnership invitations

• Opportunity boards showcasing regional and global procurement needs

This AI-first local search feature enables rural artisans, small manufacturers, and women-led enterprises to participate in semantic-driven global commerce, expanding visibility far beyond their immediate community.

“Global Trade Connect helps a seamstress in Kenya find a boutique owner in Paris, or a cocoa farmer in Ghana connect with a chocolate manufacturer in Canada,” says Theophil. “It’s the kind of global bridge the world has been waiting for — simple, accessible, and honest.”

Faith-Driven Purpose, Global Impact

Inspired by Ecclesiastes 11:1 —
“Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.”

Global Business Pages is rooted in the belief that opportunity multiplies when shared. With Global Trade Connect, businesses can plant seeds of visibility in the global marketplace and reap long-term growth.

“Opportunity shouldn’t depend on geography,” adds Theophil. “It depends on readiness, skill, and integrity — qualities present in every culture and every community.”

Who Benefits Most from Global Trade Connect

Global Trade Connect unlocks AI-powered global discovery for:

• Micro and small exporters seeking buyers

• Local producers ready for cross-border sales

• Women-led and minority-run enterprises

• Fair-trade cooperatives and artisans

• Service providers targeting offshore clients

• Startups and manufacturers exploring international supply chains

• NGOs supporting local economic development

Combined with GBP’s ecosystem — including Verified Badges, multi-language support, Voices of Business storytelling, and AI search optimization — businesses gain enhanced visibility, relevance, and discoverability in global trade networks.

Towards 100 Million Verified Listings

With 30+ million U.S. businesses onboarded and thousands of new global registrations daily, GBP continues its mission to make digital visibility and global opportunity accessible to all.

“This is more than a directory,” Theophil explains. “It’s a global marketplace where people, purpose, and opportunity intersect.”
