Apriori.Region Multi-regionality

What this solution does

The Apriori.Region module enables multi-regional promotion. It allows management of website regional data for SEO purposes, as well as coordination of information regarding retail locations, branches, departments, and franchisees.

The Apriori.Region module provides full support for multi-regional projects operating on a single domain or a network of subdomains. It enables launching a site in multiple cities or regions within one day to several weeks, effectively attracting users from various locations.

Yandex generates search results based on geographic relevance. In practice, sites optimized for a specific region rank higher in search results for users in that area. Displaying the relevant region on the website increases user trust and improves conversion rates. The module also supports creating targeted links for contextual advertising that direct users to pages specific to their region.

Key features include configuring regional display on subdomains or within a single domain. It offers management of regional contact details such as addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. When these details are updated, the module automatically makes phone numbers and email addresses clickable. Additional capabilities allow for configuring regional specifics, including operating hours, delivery information, images, and coordinates for display on Yandex Maps.

The Apriori.Region module manages grammatical case forms of region names for accurate use in text content. It supports the primary cases: nominative, genitive, accusative, instrumental, and prepositional. This enables flexible construction of phrases such as 'buy in Moscow', 'delivery to Elista', or 'clients from Moscow', using either full region names or abbreviated city names.

Region data can be displayed on website pages, in standard sliders, headers, footers, main content areas, and included blocks. The module supports automatic substitution of region-specific values for meta tags on static pages, infoblock templates, sections, and individual elements.

It generates robots.txt and sitemap.xml files for subdomains, tailored to each region. Users can select their city via a dedicated interface. Data insertion into pages is simplified through hash tags like #REGION_STATE_NAME#, requiring no complex coding.

Region data is stored in a separate infoblock, facilitating easy export and import. The solution does not require creating separate websites in 1C-Bitrix; region management is handled within a single module. Multisite support is available, allowing regions to be linked to specific sites when multiple websites are in use.

The Apriori.Region module provides multi-regional functionality, enabling the connection of separate analytics counters for each region.

The solution is fully compatible with caching mechanisms and the Composite Site technology, operating correctly with both features enabled. It supports all editions of the 1C-Bitrix platform, starting from the 'Start' edition.

The functionality relies on a 'Regions' information block, which is created automatically during installation. Users can add any number of cities, ranging from a few branches to thousands of locations across the country.

To implement a subdomain structure, the necessary subdomains must be created on the hosting server in advance and configured as aliases of the main domain. A 'City Selection' block is placed in the site template. Depending on the configuration in the admin panel, the system offers switching between subdomains or selecting a city within a single domain.

Dynamic data is displayed using special properties, such as #REGION_STATE_PHONE#. When this code is placed on a page, the corresponding value for the selected region is automatically rendered. A complete list of available fields is available in the documentation within the admin panel.

The module's architecture is built using the standard capabilities of the 1C-Bitrix platform to the maximum extent.

The Apriori.Region module provides multi-region functionality for 1C-Bitrix websites. The solution has been tested with over 1000 regions and is successfully deployed on projects of various niches. The module architecture allows flexible configuration of the number of cities, from two to hundreds, without creating separate sites for each region. This ensures compatibility with platform editions that limit the number of sites, such as 'Start'.

Region data is stored in a standard 1C-Bitrix information block, enabling management through built-in import and export tools, including CSV file uploads. The module is designed to maintain the integrity of correctly configured 1C integrations. Setup and configuration can be performed independently by the site administrator.

The Apriori.Region module provides multi-region functionality for 1C-based solutions. Detailed setup instructions and technical support are available. A 14-day fully functional trial period is offered without restrictions. The module correctly handles grammatical cases for city and region names across different contexts: nominative for titles, genitive for ownership, accusative for delivery destinations, and prepositional for location descriptions.
