    Hi everybody,

    Is it possible(and a good option) to use GeoDirectory to create a website that rates individual repair people, rather than businesses? Just as an example, let’s say mobile mechanics. If I wanted to make a site that allowed mobile mechanics in each city to list themselves with their phone numbers only, and their customers to leave reviews, and I added social networking and ecommerce capabilities through other plugins, would that be a good fit for GD? A basic listing would be free, and a paid listing would allow for an expanded profile, reviews, social networking, special offers, etc. Bottom line: Do you think it would be better to build a site such as this with GeoDirectory as a base, or would you perhaps build it on a BuddyPress foundation?

    Thanks in advance for your input…

    Hello Lee, I think GD will be a perfect choice for what you need.
    You can exclude all the fields except phone for the Free package, and include the fields you want in the Paid package. People will be in a map and can be reviewed etc..
    You can also integrate Buddypress so you will have a community behind that (and it works flawlessly with GD).

    Thanks Simone. One other question: Do you know if GeoDirectory, BuddyPress, and Woocommerce mesh well together when used within the same site- provided you use a theme(like X) that’s compatible with all three?

    Hi, Buddypress and GD works flawlessly, with the GD Buddypress addon.
    Woocommerce dost not have any interaction with GD and X theme is a GD-friendly theme
