Q: How many Tiers can I have and how are listings sorted?
Years ago, I used WPLocalPlaces which had some great features that I can't find anywhere else.
1. I want to be able to sell different Tiers of listings in each category, such as Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Free. Each higher Tier should give the listing owner more features to promote their business.
2. Random Order Sorting! Each time the page loads, the listings in each Tier should display in Random Order, so each business has the same opportunity to be the number 1 listing in their respective Tier, while the Tiers are always sorted Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Free. Can your software do this?
A: aDirectory plugin supports pricing packages, allowing you to create different tiers like Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Free. Currently, we don't have a built-in option for random order sorting within tiers. However, listings can be manually prioritized or displayed based on custom parameters like featured status or category-specific settings.

I checked a few of your demo pages against Google's Structured Data and Rich Results Tool and nothing came up. I used two different restaurant pages with 5 star review ratings and nothing showed up in any of the schema markup tools. The review schema should be the one thing that does work. I checked other pages, not just review pages, and none of your demo pages have any kind of schema markup that I could find.
Why don't yor demos have any schema markup?
You advertise that your software includes schema markup.

A: Thank you for pointing that out! For demo purposes, we’ve intentionally disabled schema markup on our demo listings to prevent dummy data from being indexed by Google. However, our aDirectory Directory Listing Plugin fully supports schema markup for live sites. If you need assistance setting it up, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to help! Documentation:...
As I understand importing is nearly impossible, as import/export function works with just database dumps? So I would have to somehow create multiple csvs that are corresponding with each other to actually get it working right?
A: Yes, you're right. It's important to populate the CSV file following a specific pattern to ensure that the import and export process works correctly.

Q: Listings based on User Location
Any plans to enable visitors to be able to "Find near me" type option?

Q: Mobile App Version? White Label?
These days everyone lives off their phone. Are you looking to make the site mobile friendly or better yet have an app option to download?
