Directorist - Advanced Review

A single star rating tells visitors very little about a listing. Directorist – Advanced Review lets users score a listing on separate factors such as service, pricing or quality, then add a written review. Directory owners can define the criteria themselves, so the questions match their niche or industry.

The extension also adds tools that keep reviews useful. Community members can vote on reviews, visitors can reorder and narrow the list, and anyone can report spam or abuse. Owners keep control through moderation options. It suits local directories, business listings and niche marketplaces that run on Directorist.

Features

• Multi-criteria ratings: Users rate a listing on several factors, such as service, price and quality, which gives a more detailed evaluation than one overall star score.
• Written reviews: Reviewers can add detailed written feedback next to their ratings, giving future visitors extra context about their experience with a listing.
• Review voting: Community members can upvote or downvote reviews, which helps bring the most helpful and credible feedback to the attention of visitors.
• Sorting and filtering: Visitors can reorder the review list, for example by newest, top rated or most voted, and narrow it down to find the feedback relevant to them.
• Spam and abuse reporting: A built-in reporting system lets users flag inappropriate or spammy reviews so the review section stays trustworthy.
• Customizable criteria: Site owners define the rating criteria that fit their niche or industry, so the review form asks questions that make sense for their listings.
• Admin moderation tools: Directory owners can approve, edit or delete reviews, which keeps quality control in their hands.
• Responsive review features: Review functions are built to work on desktops, tablets and smartphones, and the extension is made to fit an existing Directorist setup.
