GeoDirectory Claim Listings

A directory is only useful when its listings are correct. GeoDirectory Claim Listings moves the upkeep to the people who know the business best. Owners submit a claim through a popup form on the listing page, and once it is approved they can manage and update their information. That reduces the admin work of keeping entries current.

Admins keep control of the process. Claims can be approved automatically through email verification or payment receipt, or reviewed by hand and approved or rejected. You can place the claim button with a shortcode, widget or Gutenberg block, and customize the claim forms through the Ninja Forms plugin. Paid claims are possible with the Pricing Manager add-on and either GetPaid or WooCommerce.

Features

• Owner claim submissions: Business owners submit a claim on their listing and then take over managing and updating its information, so the details come from the people running the business.
• Flexible claim button placement: Add the claim button anywhere on your site with a shortcode, a widget or a Gutenberg block, so it fits the layout of your listing pages.
• Lightbox popup claim form: The claim form opens in a popup on the listing page, so visitors can submit a claim without being redirected to another page.
• Ninja Forms integration: Customize claim forms and create multiple forms for your directory's needs, all through the free Ninja Forms plugin.
• Pay to claim support: Charge for claims by using the Pricing Manager add-on together with GetPaid or WooCommerce payment systems.
• Automatic and manual approvals: Approve claims automatically through email verification or payment receipt, or review each one by hand and approve or reject it.
• Undo approved claims: Reverse a previously approved claim to correct a mistake or deal with a suspicious request, which helps keep listings reliable.
• Verified badge and filtering: Show a Verified Listing badge by widget, shortcode or block, and use the claimed field in sorting and advanced search filters to surface verified businesses.
