Hello!
GeoDirectory has a lot of text because it is a “business in a box”. All the text needed for a complete workflow for your niche marketing concept.
Of course you will want to change text to make it really ‘sing’!
Some text and headers can be changed under the GeoDirectory settings, and a few more are available through the widgets or email notifications.
The remaining text not accessible through those pages can still be changed by making a copy of the translation file and editing the text into what you need.
You can find complete instructions here:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/translate-core/
Once you change one and see it working, you will probably want to change many more, too, to make your site stand out and ‘speak’ to your customers.
Let us know how it goes!
