Overview
Directories that list restaurants, retail chains or service franchises often end up with many separate entries for one brand. Entering each branch from scratch takes time, and keeping them organized is harder still. GeoDirectory Franchise Manager groups related listings so that a franchise owner can create and edit locations from one place, while the directory stays tidy for visitors.
The plugin works as an add-on to GeoDirectory core. Each franchise location can carry its own details and its own SEO settings, so every branch has its own listing page. It also works with the Pricing Manager add-on, which lets directory owners set up pricing packages for franchise submissions. It is built for sites that run on WordPress and GeoDirectory.
Features
- Multiple locations per business: Businesses can submit and manage several franchise locations within the directory, so related branches stay connected instead of being scattered as unrelated listings.
- Quick franchise creation and editing: Adding and editing chain listings is designed to take less time, which helps both franchise owners submitting branches and administrators who manage the directory.
- Location-specific details: Each franchise location can hold its own information, so every branch is described accurately rather than sharing one generic listing.
- Custom SEO settings per branch: Individual locations support their own SEO settings, giving each branch listing separate attention within your directory.
- Pricing Manager integration: Works with the Pricing Manager add-on so directory owners can offer pricing packages made for franchise submissions.
- Easy for submitting users: The interface is designed for simple onboarding, so users who submit franchise listings can find their way around without much guidance.
- Built for GeoDirectory core: The plugin is made to work with GeoDirectory, keeping franchise listings consistent with the rest of your directory.
- Translation ready: Supports multilingual setups through available translation tools, so directories serving visitors in different languages can use the plugin too.
