GeoDirectory
GeoDirectory is a WordPress plugin for creating city directories, with add-ons for projects that span multiple cities. Its core package includes more than 40 widgets, shortcodes, and blocks for maps, categories, listings, reviews, business hours, and search forms. Visitors can search by proximity, rate and review listings, and use configurable sorting; site owners can create custom fields. Users can submit and edit listings through a frontend form, and CSV tools support importing, exporting, and bulk editing categories, listings, settings, and reviews. Add-ons extend location browsing to countries, regions, cities, and neighborhoods, and provide listing packages, recurring payments, and package trial periods. The API is positioned for headless directory sites or apps, while custom database tables are described as supporting scale. GeoDirectory is available for web, self-hosted, and API use. The free core plugin covers one city. Membership options add extensions, themes, updates, and premium support; the listed membership prices are $74.75 a month (billed each 4 months) and $148.85 a year (billed each 12 months), both with auto-renewal.
