    Hi there,

    Considering a change in my business model – at the moment for gd_place I only have paid listings. However, I am considering creating a very basic package with just business name, address and phone number. There would be about 3,000 of these.

    I would then hope people would claim the listings if they get a certain number of inquiries on them. Just a couple of questions:

    1) Do I, as wp-admin user, add the listings manually so they would be linked to my admin account?
    2) And then, after a claim are they effectively transferred to another new member account?
    3) Is there any way of disabling the contact form for individual listings via the back end – say once 10 inquiries have been reached you then have to claim/upgrade/pay to get the advert back able to take inquiries again?

    Thanks a million,

    Adrian

    1) Do I, as wp-admin user, add the listings manually so they would be linked to my admin account?

    Yes, or maybe under an account with a friendly username like “Listing Manager”, but yes, the admin is the author.

    You can also add your own lead collection email to use for the send-enquiry form.

    Make sure listings are not set with ‘checked’ in the claimed field so new users can claim them.

    2) And then, after a claim are they effectively transferred to another new member account?

    The Claim manager has several options, including automatic approval based on email or purchase of a paid package. You should probably try the latter.

    3) Is there any way of disabling the contact form for individual listings via the back end – say once 10 inquiries have been reached you then have to claim/upgrade/pay to get the advert back able to take inquiries again?

    GeoDirectory doesn’t have a feature like that, it would require a customization.
