Custom Lists

Learn how to create user intent optimized landing pages that delight your site visitors.

Overview

You can use knowledge about your community, keywords research, and analytics information to create targeted pages that provide users the information they want straight from a search engine search.

Examples of these pre-defined landing pages could be:

  • Top 10 restaurants in New York
  • Open software engineering job offers in Boston
  • Available rooms for rent in London
  • Best movies starring Ryan Reynolds

Pages like this are great for SEO because they take into account the user's search intent. And the good news is that it's extremely easy to implement them with JReviews.

Custom lists are available for both listings and reviews. They can be created through menus so you can build dedicated landing pages. You can also create custom lists using shortcodes, listings and reviews Joomla modules and WordPress widgets.
