GeoDirectory Embeddable Ratings Badge

Good reviews on a directory listing only help when people see them. This plugin gives listed businesses a badge they can place on their own websites, so visitors there see the current rating and reviews from your directory. The badge reads live data from the GeoDirectory listing, so what appears on the external page matches what appears in the directory.

Directory admins stay in control. You decide who can generate embed codes, such as the public, logged-in users or listing owners, and you can lock or grant design options. Users can match the badge to their site, while you can add custom branding images or text. It requires the GeoDirectory core plugin and a current enough WordPress release to run.

Features

• Live ratings on external sites: Embed real-time ratings from your GeoDirectory listings on other websites, so visitors there see the same review information shown in your directory.
• Customizable badge design: Users can adjust the widget style so the badge fits the look and feel of the website where it is embedded.
• Admin control over design: Directory administrators can lock or grant design customization options to users, keeping branding consistent or allowing more freedom as they prefer.
• Font Awesome detection: The badge checks whether the host site uses Font Awesome icons for ratings and matches them. If not, it falls back to lightweight HTML star icons.
• CDN compatibility: Widget assets can be offloaded to a content delivery network, which reduces the load on your own server resources.
• Selective embed code access: Choose who may generate embed codes: the public, logged-in users, or listing owners only.
• Custom branding options: Add your own branding images or text to the widget so your directory's identity appears on every embedded badge.
• Backlinks from embedded badges: Each embedded badge links back to your directory, which can bring referral visitors from the external sites that display it.

Best for

• GeoDirectory site owners who want ratings shown elsewhere
• Directory admins who need control over embed code access
• Listed businesses wanting reviews displayed on their own sites
