Professional Directory Analytics – Free

SFR Directory Analytics gives you directory-specific insights to grow your business. Unlike website analytics (Google Analytics), this focuses on what directory owners actually need: listing performance, search trends, category analytics, and engagement patterns.

Perfect for Directorist, GeoDirectory, and Business Directory users who want to understand their directory without expensive premium subscriptions.

Why Directory-Specific Analytics Matter

Google Analytics shows website traffic. Directory analytics show business performance.

Track what matters for directory growth:

Which listings attract the most views
Which categories drive engagement
Top performing listings
Real-time activity patterns
