Description

The Advanced Review addon expands the review system of Directorist with multiple criteria per category, allowing visitors to rate each listing on distinct parameters such as service, price and location instead of a single score. Directory owners gain granular control over how reviews appear in each listing, with customizable forms and aggregated display that provides users richer information to decide among registered establishments.

Key Features

  • Multi-criteria ratings: configure distinct parameters for each listing category, replacing the single score with a breakdown that reflects what matters in each niche.
  • Customizable review form: set which fields the visitor fills when rating a listing, from overall score to comments per criterion.
  • Aggregate scoring calculation: the addon consolidates scores per criterion and displays a weighted average on the listing page.
  • Submission moderation: approve or reject reviews before publishing, preventing abusive content or hidden spam.
  • Owner response: allows the listing owner to publicly comment on each received review, keeping the dialogue open with the audience.

Benefits of Advanced Review

  • More informative reviews: criteria-based scores give the visitor enough context to choose without opening each comparative listing.
  • Enhanced audience engagement: detailed form and owner response stimulate continuous feedback cycle in the directory.
  • Verifiable reputation per listing: breaking reviews into axes turns each evaluation into consultable data, not just a generic star.
  • User-generated content as an asset: accumulated reviews raise the organic relevance of listing pages over time.

Who Is This For?

  • Local directory operators who monetize visits via the reputation of registered establishments.
  • Comparison and curation sites that rely on detailed reviews to guide visitors’ decisions.
  • Service marketplaces built on Directorist where trust in the provider determines conversion.

Directory operators who rely on reviews as a visitor decision factor find here the detail that a single star does not convey. By breaking reviews into relevant axes for the served niche, each listing conveys verifiable reputation per criterion, strengthening user-generated content as a central asset of the site.
