How We Verify Businesses
We use a simple, repeatable process to check that each business is real, operational, and trustworthy. Every verification is done by humans.
Our Verification Process
Business Requests Verification
The business owner submits a verification request and chooses a subscription plan. Status is set to "Pending Audit".
We Check It
Our team calls the business, watches a video tour, or reviews ownership documents. We confirm the location, hours, and ownership. Typical turnaround: 3 days.
We Publish the Page
We create a public page with the verified info, a "Verified" badge, and a timestamp showing when it was checked. AI can read the technical details (JSON-LD).
We Help AI Find It
We list it in our sitemap, verified feed, and llms.txt so AI assistants can discover and cite the business.
We Re-Check Every Month
Every month, we do a "heartbeat" audit to confirm the business is still operational. If anything has changed (hours, phone, etc.), we update the page.

Quality Assurance
Every verified page is consistent: what you see on screen matches what AI reads (JSON-LD). We don't hide information or contradict ourselves.
All data is public and free to read. AI assistants can cite it with confidence because it's human-verified and updated monthly.
