Creating a Membership Directory

I’m new to GeoDirectory and have been reading through the documentation and just want to make sure I understand my next step correctly! I am making a directory of members of an association. People who want to hire these members will come to the site and be able to search for them by location and then see all their information. So the default post type “places” for my purposes should actually be something like “members.” I can either edit the po file to make places say whatever term it is I need (i.e. member) or I can use Custom Post Types Add On and make a CPT for that and use that CPT instead of the default CPT Places to create my directory. Am I on the right path?
