GeoDirectory stores each place as a custom post type, by default gd_place, with detail fields in a per-CPT details table such as wp_geodir_gd_place_detail. That table holds the address, latitude, longitude, phone, email, website, opening hours, and any custom fields added through the GeoDirectory custom fields manager. Categories are a hierarchical taxonomy with their own colors and icons. The default OG image is the directory's site logo, identical across the climbing gym, the bakery, and the dentist, which makes every shared link look like every other shared link.

SleekPixel reads the GeoDirectory detail table and the place taxonomy and composites them into a per-place card: business name as the headline, primary category as a colored tag, the average rating as stars, the featured photo as the hero, opening hours collapsed to a friendly Open now or Closed badge, and the address as a footer line. Editors and submitting users do not change their workflow, the card just appears on save.

For map-heavy directories, the place's latitude and longitude can render as a small map crop next to the photo, so the preview shows where the place is, not just what it looks like.

Directories survive on shareability and on visitors recognizing what they are about to click on. GeoDirectory makes it easy to capture every detail of a place, from the opening hours to the latitude and longitude, but the default social share collapses all of that to a single repeated thumbnail of the directory's logo. The result is that every shared link looks identical, which trains regular visitors to ignore previews and lowers click-through on social by a meaningful margin.

SleekPixel turns each place into a card that previews as itself, with the photo of the venue, the category tag in its own color, a live Open now or Closed badge, and the rating in stars. Featured listings, often the directory's main revenue line, finally get a visible boost in the share preview. None of this requires design time past the initial template, which means a directory with three hundred places gets three hundred unique social cards for the cost of one plugin, and adding place three hundred and one takes no extra effort.
