About this plugin
Professional Directory Analytics – Free
SFR Directory Analytics gives you directory-specific insights to grow your business. Unlike website analytics (Google Analytics), this focuses on what directory owners actually need: listing performance, search trends, category analytics, and engagement patterns.
Perfect for Directorist, GeoDirectory, and Business Directory users who want to understand their directory without expensive premium subscriptions.
Why Directory-Specific Analytics Matter
Google Analytics shows website traffic. Directory analytics show business performance.
Track what matters for directory growth:
-
Which listings attract the most views
-
Which categories drive engagement
-
Top performing listings
-
Real-time activity patterns
Free Forever
