Enable Posting from Mobile App
I’d love to suggest a feature that would significantly enhance user engagement: the ability to create and post content directly from the mobile app. Currently, users can browse and interact with listings, but adding the ability to post new listings, articles, events, or classifieds directly from the app would make the platform more convenient and dynamic. Key benefits: Improved user experience: Users can manage content on the go without needing a desktop. Increased engagement: More frequent updates and interactions from businesses and individuals. Competitive advantage: Many directory platforms offer mobile posting, making it a valuable addition. It would be great to know if this feature is on your roadmap or if there are any plans to implement it in the future. Thanks for your time and consideration!
Update Dashboard Stats Section
The stats section on the dashboard seems very outdated, and to be honest, it’s hard to read. The numbers don’t seem to add up. It truly doesn’t provide much value at all to our sponsors.
Mail center
Mail box/leads suggestion I would change the format of sending messages at least to Add an avatar with a backlink, from whom the letters come. You made a similar custom for me on one of the sites. Why is this important? When a person registers on the portal, he creates his profile, and when he sends a message, so that the second person (the recipient) can see from whom the letter came.
Articles
For me, having an article section is a big part of my site SEO and monetization. If there could be a level assignment similar to listings and events, that could be very useful
eDirectory Admin App
It would be fantastic if we could have an app for the site managers to quickly jump on and approve listings, reviews etc. Currently I have to wait until I am in the office or home to do this and it can mean waiting for a whole day. I understand we can approve if we open the site manager in our internet browser on our phones but the layout doesn’t work well on my iPhone. Thanks!
AI Frontend Translation System with Smart Caching
Summary: Add an AI-powered translation feature that automatically translates all frontend system text into the visitor’s preferred language, while allowing users to manually translate published content such as listings, events, classifieds, articles, deals, reviews, and blog posts. Translations are cached for fast delivery and updated automatically when content changes. Introduce an integrated AI Frontend Translation System that makes every eDirectory site multilingual without manual translation packs. AI Translation for System Text Dynamically translates all frontend system text — menus, buttons, headings, forms, system static pages, and navigation elements — into the visitor’s language. Detects the user’s browser language automatically. Allows manual language selection through a dropdown. Caches translations for instant loading and reduced API cost. User-Triggered Translation for Published Content For user-generated content (listings, events, classifieds, articles, deals, reviews, and blog posts), a “Translate” button lets visitors choose whether to view that content in their language. When a visitor clicks translate, AI generates the translation and stores it in cache. Future visitors get the cached version instantly. If the original content changes, AI automatically checks and updates the translation before showing it. Smart Translation Cache & Maintenance Cache per language and per content item. Automatic refresh when system or content text changes. Admin control panel options to manually clear and rebuild translations. Admin Tools & Control Choose which languages to support. Manage API provider (OpenAI, DeepL, or Google Translate). View translation progress and override specific terms or phrases. SEO & Localization Benefits Optional SEO-friendly URLs for each language (e.g., /es/, /fr/). Automatically translates meta titles and descriptions. Benefits: Immediate multilingual accessibility for global visitors. No need for separate translation files or manual updates. Keeps system text current and accurate. Reduces translation costs through caching and smart refreshing. Greatly improves international SEO and user experience.
Articles and City / Location Filters and Tagging
If someone wants to write articles relevant for specific locations / cities. Just like listings, events and classifieds can be filtered by location, would be nice to extend location filters to articles too. So sponsors can write articles specific to their city
Best of Ballots
Hello. I would like to suggest a Best Of… feature. In other words, the ability to create a campaign for people to vote for their favorites in a variety of categories — i.e. Best Pet Store in Austin. Ideally, there would be a nomination round, a voting round and a winners’ circle and sponsors would be able to enhance their ballot listing with features similar to regular listings (banner, images, descriptions, a vote counter, etc.). This would give us something additional to sell to sponsors as well as create user engagement. Thank you!
Add Listings to Blog Posts
The ability to add a formatted listing or listings to a blog post so that you can create blog posts with particular listings. For example: the best plumber in Toronto. So you can list those listings in the blog post and drive traffic to your website.
Duplicate Listings
Would like to suggest consideration to identifying duplicate/similar listings as we are finding many users submitting multiple listings with identical/similar content . This tends to occur with personnel changes @sponsors with no idea a listing exists. Also when importing listings froma Dbase can also create a multiple listing situation

Instant Messenger integration
I think it would be useful for the Instant Messenger integration to be added to the Events, in fact it would probably be more useful there than the listings! For example right now we can only use a CTA Call us for prices and bookings, a WhatsApp availability would be very useful!
Enable site managers to sort card content by sub-categories.
Currently, the card widget can only showcase items from main categories. Adding support for sub-categories would improve content granularity, giving site managers more flexibility to highlight specific content.
Listing Template for Sub-Categories
Currently, listing templates can only be associated with the main category. Best practices for category trees suggest having a few main categories and many subcategories. For example, if we have a main category for "Restaurant" and subcategories like "Bar, Café, Snack Bar, Restaurant," etc., it's not possible to assign specific listing templates to each subcategory. Allowing templates for subcategories would enable more tailored listing experiences.
WhatsApp automated messaging service
A service similar to this: https://create.wa.link/, so that advertisers would know that users were coming from my website, through the standard message "Hi! How are you? I found your contact information on Guia.Top and am interested in what you offer.
Feature Request: Short-Form Video Support for Listing and Event Pages
Request Please add native support for short-form vertical videos on individual Listing and Event pages, including: YouTube Shorts TikTok Instagram Reels Facebook Reels Ideally, this functionality should be integrated into the existing Listing/Event video player, allowing a short-form video URL to be added in the same way YouTube or Vimeo videos are currently supported. If extending the existing player is not technically practical, a dedicated Short-Form Video widget or field for Listing and Event pages would be an excellent alternative. Current Limitation eDirectory currently supports traditional YouTube/Vimeo video content on listings, but YouTube Shorts and other major short-form video formats cannot be used in the same way. Version 14 introduced a carousel widget supporting TikTok and YouTube Shorts for general pages, which was a valuable addition. However, this does not address the original use case: associating a short-form video directly with an individual Listing or Event. The short video should represent that specific business, attraction, destination, restaurant, hotel, activity, or event rather than being part of a general site-wide video carousel. Why This Matters Short-form vertical video has become one of the primary ways people discover businesses, destinations, attractions, restaurants, activities, and events online. For a directory, a visitor often does not need or want a long promotional video. A 30 to 60-second video can quickly show: what the place looks like; what visitors can expect; the atmosphere or experience; key attractions, products, or services; why someone may want to visit. This is particularly valuable for tourism and local directories, where visual presentation can have a major influence on a visitor's decision. Short-form video is also now routinely created for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Facebook Reels. Allowing directory owners and advertisers to reuse this existing content would significantly increase the value and relevance of Listing and Event pages. Suggested Implementation Preferred option: Extend the existing Listing/Event YouTube/Vimeo video functionality to recognize and properly display supported short-form URLs from: YouTube Shorts TikTok Instagram Reels Facebook Reels The player should preserve the appropriate vertical aspect ratio rather than forcing vertical content into a traditional 16:9 player. Alternative option: Introduce a dedicated Short-Form Video field/widget for Listing and Event pages that accepts supported URLs and renders the appropriate vertical player. Ideally, the implementation should also be responsive and optimized for mobile devices. Summary The general-page Shorts carousel introduced in v14 is useful, but it solves a different use case
Serve Markdown content on Accept: text/markdown requests for full AI Content score - Part 2
Following on from the llms.txt feature request — once llms.txt and llms-full.txt are in place, the remaining gap to a full score on the Content dimension of isitagentready.com is Markdown content negotiation. When an AI agent requests a page, it sends an Accept: text/markdown header. If your server returns HTML, the agent has to parse out navigation, scripts, ads, and markup noise to get to the actual content — burning tokens and often getting it wrong. If your server detects that header and returns clean Markdown instead, the agent gets exactly what it needs, efficiently. The request: When eDirectory detects an Accept: text/markdown request header, return a clean Markdown version of the page instead of HTML — covering at minimum: Category pages (name, description, listing summaries) Listing detail pages (business name, description, contact info, category) Key static pages (About, Contact, Add a Listing) This doesn't need to replace the HTML response for normal browsers — just intercept the header and serve an alternate clean representation to agents that ask for it. Why it matters: This is the difference between an AI agent being able to read your directory and being able to use it as a reliable source. Combined with llms.txt, a proper robots.txt with AI bot rules, and a sitemap, this completes the first three AI readiness categories and puts eDirectory sites at the top of the scoring curve. Most platforms haven't implemented this yet. It's a genuine differentiator right now. Aaron
Email Notifications: Changing Pending Listing to Active & Suspending Listing
Currently, to send an activation email, the status has to be changed to "Active" outside of the listing form, in the main area under Content > Listings. This is cumbersome if we are inside a listing reviewing it, if we change the status to Active then save listing, an email DOES NOT go out to the user. This makes no sense. Suggestion: anywhere the listing is changed to “Active” status, the email should go our to sponsor/user. Currently, the platform does not automatically send an email to users when a listing is suspended or expired. Suggestion: when changing status to Suspended, an email should go out to user/sponsor so they know their listing was suspended. (This way they can reach out to us to find out why or we can explain in the automated email why).
Things to include with the launch site.
The categories, linking events to listing, linking article to listings should come automatically with the site launch. It would make the site so much smoother at the gate. People that want to launch on a tight budget would be able to launch with these feature would the site alot better. instead try to come up the add on money..can just focus on the monthly fee
Improve Filter Functionality
The current filtering structure does not filter listings based on user input. When a user selects a primary category to filter their search results, any subsequent filters added do not exclude or include results correctly. For example, if a user selects a primary filter for “Points of Interest,” the resulting list is generally accurate. However, if the user continues to filter the results list by selecting “Campgrounds,” the list does not exclude everything else (such as movie theaters, restaurants, and community centers) other than campgrounds. This defies the functionality users expect for filtering their search results. Please consider updating the filtering mechanisms to filter exactly based on the user’s search input criteria.
Event Widgets - Add Category Choices
I like the It would be amazing if the 3 available Event Widgets could be editable like the listing cards so we can choose what categories to show. These widgets look great but I cant use them for this very reason! Also if there were more than 3 widgets to choose from, even better!

Enhanced Category Widget Flexibility
I’d like to suggest an enhancement for the category widget. Currently, it only allows selecting first-level categories, and the main categories and they cannot be reorganized. It would be very useful if the widget could: Include second- or third-level subcategories so users can find popular areas faster. Allow reordering of categories and subcategories, giving admins control over display order to optimize user navigation and experience. This improvement would make the directory more flexible, easier to navigate, and allow highlighting of the most relevant subcategories for users, improving both discoverability and engagement.
Make AI Mode Optional on Listing Pages
The AI mode on the directory is a great feature and works well when intentionally used. However, on listing category pages, it automatically populates AI recommendations, which disrupts the natural scrolling experience. It would be better if users could control when to see recommendations on every page they visit, allowing for seamless browsing without waiting for AI content to load. Maybe adjust this copy: AI-generated response. Personalized summary based on your search. To: Want AI-Generated Recommendations? Get a personalized summary based on your search. This gives users the choice to activate AI suggestions only when they want them, keeping the browsing experience smooth and uninterrupted while still providing personalized insights when desired. This adjustment ensures clarity and respects user control over content

Discussion forum widget
This way will look like a complete discussion forum Add the ability to upload an image in text and widget for Youtube link, and poll. And pending approval posts, avoid scam posts.
YouTube Shorts
Youtube shorts are not allowed as video content. That makes no sense. Short videos are necessary these days as attention spans are short.
Check List and Photo Gallery
Both of these areas in Site Manager would be greatly improved if we could Drag and Drop the items into the place we want them in these lists. Gallery If a client wants a specific order, we have to delete all the images and upload them as per the requirements. Check List Now, we have to add them in the order we want displayed, the order cannot be changed without deleting everything and adding them in the right order.
Members-Only Custom Pages
When creating a new custom page, allow it to be set as members-only, enabling site managers to create protected pages accessible exclusively to registered or paying members for any purpose.
Include YouTube Channel & Whatsapp Channel
We have the chance to include Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn and X accounts links but it will be great if we can add also the YouTube channel link (not just one video) and the Whatsapp channel/community link. Thank you! Matias
Deals - Lead Information
Currently, the only information a sponsor receives when a deal is redeemed, is the first and last name. No email or phone number or anything. Can you please update so that an email address comes through? When our sponsors receive a lead, there is nothing they can do with it. So it is essentially a dead lead unless they can find that person on LinkedIn.
Events - Copy event
This would be extremely helpful so we could copy an expired event, when the recurring event is not accurate to use.
Ability to change Zip Code wording
I would find it beneficial to be able to change the entire site's referencing from Zip Code to Postcode. Currently, in my case, when upgrades are carried out, all referencing to Postcode will always revert back to Zip Code. This results in a request for support each time, requiring amendments. For a long time, in site admin, the ability to create/choose a display name for Country, Region, State (which I have changed to County), and City (which I have changed to City / Town) has existed, but never for Zip Code. Perhaps there's an operational reason why not, but if there isn't, it would save repetitive time and effort for all concerned and enhance/personalise the user's experience.
Google Maps Alternative
I am not sure if anyone has noticed, but Google has been changing a lot, and with these changes, there are no more freebies. As of September 2023, Google made everyone add a billing payment to their account and then gave everyone a one-time credit. Our credit has run out, and Google has started billing us USD$130.00 per month, and rising for Google Maps. I suggest edirectory look into adding an alternative map such as Open Street Map https://www.openstreetmap.org/, which has come a long way and is just about as good as Google Maps. I purchased a small map programme to test this out, and it looks very much like Google Maps. You can see this here: https://stockist.chillmate.com/ Making this change would allow us to use all the map functions without the worry of getting a big bill from Google every month. It would keep money in our pocket rather than in Google’s, and the map can be viewed from every country; currently, a few countries still block Google. I have removed Google Maps from my free accounts and only have it available for paid accounts, however, we are still being charged. There are two charges Google is billing with Google Maps: 1. Dynamic Maps Usage and 2. Geocoding Usage.
Improvement Suggestion: For display of articles on main listing when using article association plugin
Currently, when associating multiple articles using the Article Association Plugin, the oldest article date is displayed first. Since the articles are arranged in a 3-column layout, presenting the first row of three articles with old dates can create a misleading impression. This is particularly concerning if newer articles are located further down the page. Displaying an older article date first (for example, articles that are over two years old) may unintentionally discourage viewers from scrolling down to see more recent content. They might assume that the entire list of articles is outdated. It would be helpful to prioritise the most recent article dates by displaying them in order from newest to oldest. If there is a specific reason for showing the oldest articles first, consider omitting the dates altogether and only displaying the titles of the articles on the page where the associated articles are showcased.
