Directorist - Claim Listing

Directories often fill up with listings that nobody looks after. Details go out of date, photos get old, and customer reviews sit unanswered. Directorist – Claim Listing gives real business owners a way to step in. They submit a claim for the listing they own, and once it is approved they can keep the page accurate and take part in the conversation.

You stay in control of who gets access. Admins review each claim and approve or reject it, so only genuine owners manage listings. Claim requirements can be configured to match how your directory works, and email notifications keep admins and claimants informed. The plugin works with the Directorist core plugin, so it suits local business directories, marketplaces and niche directory sites.

Features

• Claim submission for owners: Businesses can submit a claim of ownership for a listing directly on your directory, which gives owners a clear way to take over the profile they represent.
• Verified owner badge: Claimed and verified listings display a distinct badge, so visitors browsing the directory can tell which businesses have confirmed owners.
• Admin-moderated approvals: Directory admins review each claim and choose to approve or reject it, which keeps listings in the hands of genuine owners.
• Business profile management: Verified owners can update their business details, photos and contact information, so the listing stays current and relevant.
• Replies to customer reviews: Owners of claimed listings can respond to the reviews customers leave, which opens a line of communication between businesses and their visitors.
• Email notifications: Admins and claimants receive notifications about claim status updates, so nobody has to check back manually to see where a claim stands.
• Customizable claim settings: Configure the requirements and process for claims so they fit the way your directory operates and the level of checking you want.
• Responsive claiming interface: The claim experience uses a responsive design, so owners can submit and manage claims from a desktop computer or a smartphone.
