Business Directory Plugin Premium Plans

Build the directory around its listings

Business Directory Plugin Premium Plans extend a WordPress listing manager and directory builder. Create listings without writing code for businesses, members, staff, companies, professionals, and other groups. Custom fields, categories, images, and search help organize entries. Listing owners can edit their own listings without access to the WordPress dashboard.

Directory formats include local business, real estate, services, company, association member, school staff, medical, and professional directories. Forms can collect details such as phone numbers, hours, price ranges, photos, and other information.

Choose plan-dependent listing tools

Paid annual plans add settings such as Google Maps, ZIP code search, ratings and reviews, claim listings, and discount codes. Features vary by plan. Maps and ZIP search can help users find nearby businesses; reviews attach to individual listings and include Schema.org markup. Claim listings can support an ownership process, while discount codes can be used for a directory promotion or listing offer.

Premium file uploads let listing owners attach PDFs, text files, and images. Image uploads support drag-and-drop, reordering, primary image options, and thumbnail sizing. Upload limits depend on the plan.

Publish and maintain directory content

Import existing businesses, members, or staff from a spreadsheet in one upload. Use [businessdirectory] for the main directory, or place selected categories and tags elsewhere with [businessdirectory-listings]. Featured, latest, random, and search widgets can add directory content to sidebars.

Set listing and payment options

Offer free or paid listings, one-time or recurring plans, and various plans for different categories. Featured or sticky placement can be a paid upgrade. Stripe and Authorize.net process payments in the free plugin. Stripe uses pay-as-you-go pricing until you upgrade to a paid plan; Authorize.net has no per-transaction fee. Manage directory plans and prices from the WordPress dashboard.

Install and connect the directory

Install and activate the plugin in WordPress, then use the setup notice’s Create required pages for me button. The directory page is created with the main shortcode in place. Add listing shortcodes or widgets to other pages and sidebars, configure fields and plans, and import existing data when needed.

The directory is mobile-friendly and responsive with well-built WordPress themes. It works with multilingual directories with WPML and integrates with Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, NavXT Breadcrumbs, and WP-PageNavi.
