What a directory app includes
Maps.
Listings show as pins by category. On GeoDirectory maps, filter chips show places rated 4+, places with upcoming events, or featured places.
Events.
GeoDirectory events get a calendar screen, and each venue shows its upcoming events.
Deals and special offers.
Each listing can carry up to four offers. Customers see the ones that are live today, on the listing and in a nearby deals list.
Reviews.
A rating left in the app and one left on your website are the same data. GeoDirectory listings can be rated on several criteria.
Favorites.
Members save the listings they like, and owners can send news to the people who saved theirs.
Search and filters.
Text search across listings and categories, category chips, and a city and radius picker.
Push notifications.
Owners announce news from the app. Your site sends alerts for new listings, approvals, staff invites and claims.
Approvals in the app.
New listings can wait for approval, and admins approve them from their phone.
GeoDirectory or Business Directory Plugin. Both work.
Use the directory plugin your site already runs. The app reads it directly.
