GeoDirectory Location Manager

GeoDirectory Location Manager is a premium WordPress extension that transforms a local directory into a global directory with full support for multiple locations. Developed by AyeCode Ltd, the team behind the popular GeoDirectory plugin, this add-on allows you to organize listings under a geographic hierarchy of countries, regions, cities, and neighborhoods, offering a clear and professional navigation structure for any directory-based site.

It is designed for those who manage business directories, city guides, real estate portals, job boards, or classifieds that need to cover more than one locality. With the free main GeoDirectory plugin, you can only publish listings in a single location; Location Manager removes that limitation and opens the door to unlimited reach.

Among its most notable features is the smart Location Switcher, a selector that allows visitors to change location from the menu, a widget, a shortcode, or a Gutenberg block. This selector offers automatic suggestions based on user proximity, AJAX search of stored locations, and proximity search with geocoding via Google Maps or OpenStreetMap. It also saves recent search history for quick access.

The plugin includes smart location searches in the directory search bar, with friendly URLs that include GPS coordinates for "near me" searches, and contextual autocomplete when combined with the Advanced Search add-on. Each location page can have its own description, SEO metadata, and featured image, with support for replacement variables like %%location_name%%.

Administrators have a centralized panel to manage all locations: create, edit, moderate, merge duplicate locations, and restrict the directory to specific countries, regions, or cities. It is also possible to import locations in bulk and generate clean, SEO-optimized URLs for each location page.

Additionally, it includes versatile widgets such as the locations widget (list or image grid with AJAX pagination), the "Near Me" button, and the location description widget. All queries are made through the WordPress REST API, ensuring fast performance and a future-proof architecture. With support for Yoast SEO in sitemap generation, this add-on is the definitive solution to take any WordPress directory to a global scale.
