Directory is our brand new platform that encompasses a parent theme, various plugins and a wide selection of child themes. It is the most advanced theme we’ve ever created with literally hundreds of custom features. Read this page to learn more about how you can turn your website into a global directory.
Why use a niche directory?
Cities in this WordPress listing directory theme essentially provide another layer of filtering content. With regular themes you’re limited to organizing posts into categories; in Directory everything you create is also filtered by cities. In practice, it means that a person who “lands” in New York won’t see anything posted for London. Customize cities by adding a city message or setting a custom header and body background. Choose between using an image or a simple color for both the header and the body.
Use city logs to check out how many people visited each of your cities. The theme also logs each visitors IP address.
Why hearing doctors and not audiologists?
We do that, because we use terms and phrases people use to find businesses near them.

Data from Keywords Everywhere
As you can see, more people each year are going on Google to search for “hearing doctor” rather than audiologist. By focusing on these key terms in our directory, we help your services get promoted and visible to customers.
Same with terms like hearing aids, hearing aid repair and hearing tests. These are the most common terms people use to find audiologist services near them. By listing your business and website in our directory you gain a number of advantages.
