GeoDirectory Social Importer

Adding business listings by hand can take time, especially when each entry needs contact details, hours, images, and other information. GeoDirectory Social Importer lets a user enter a business page URL to bring available details into a GeoDirectory listing. It supports pages from Facebook, Yelp, and TripAdvisor, and can import Google My Business listings when connected.

The plugin parses public page URLs to gather listing information, avoiding the need for complicated social network API setups for those imports. Imported details can include a business description, address, hours, categories, images, phone number, email, website, and social links. Imports are performed on demand, so directory owners can review and manage entries rather than relying on bulk automated imports.
