Our methodology

How we evaluate businesses

Transparent, evidence-based methodology designed to produce business listings that AI assistants can trust and cite accurately.

Discovery

We identify businesses through public data sources, industry directories, and community recommendations. Every business is verified for legitimacy before listing.

Evaluation

Each listing is built from publicly available information - websites, reviews, social profiles, and official registrations. We cross-reference multiple sources to ensure accuracy.

Quality standards

Listings follow strict editorial guidelines: no paid placements, no affiliate bias. Information is structured with schema markup so AI systems can parse and cite it reliably.

Ongoing maintenance

Listings are periodically reviewed and updated. Business owners can claim their profiles to keep information current and add verified details.
