READ WHAT USERS SAY ABOUT OUR WORDPRESS BUSINESS DIRECTORY PLUGIN

👉 Superb plugin!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Look no further than this plugin for a directory website, it’s fantastic. I looked at Directorist first and spent a good amount of time setting that up to find out their search function only checked the post title and >none of the tags or categories. Useless! GeoDirectory of course checks pretty much every field so your users can find every listing with ease.

But that’s a relatively small plus point. The main selling point is the customization you can achieve. You can build your own layout using a page builder and insert the various fields wherever you see fit. It’s >so flexible and if you run into a support issue, the team are always on hand to help with responses in just a few hours (and at weekends).

You will need to invest some money to buy all the necessary add-ons that make this plugin so powerful, and you will need to spend a good amount of time working out how to build it how you want it, but it’s well worth it, and the results speak for themselves.

There is documentation to help you set everything up and I think the team will admit it does lack in places but when you get quick support responses, it’s not an issue.

Overall this is the perfect choice if you’re thinking of building a directory site. No need to look elsewhere.

👉 Unbelievable plugin
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is the first business directory plugin I’ve ever used and I’m amazed about what it can do. I had reviewed several other directory plugins, but this one serves all of my purposes. There are so many options available for everything imaginable. They also have tons of add-ons to do even more that are part of the membership package I signed up for. Something like this normally would cost tens of thousands to have this much functionality. I highly recommend. Their customer service is very responsive as well and knowledgeable.
