A neighborly recommendation ought to come with something you can check.
Our directory is starting with public resources. We have not yet awarded any contractor a verified badge or published a best-of ranking. This is the standard we intend to apply before adding commercial recommendations.
Verification must describe an actual check
For a future listing, the record should identify the business, its public contact channel, service area and the date those details were checked. Where a trade requires a relevant license, the check should link to the responsible regulator's record and describe its scope. An online review score alone will not establish professional qualifications.
Paid placement needs a visible label
A sponsorship must be labeled where readers encounter it. Payment will not buy a claim that work is guaranteed or that a company is the best in town. Editorial comparisons need a stated method, a defined comparison set and current evidence.
Reviews need context
If a future guide uses public review data, it should record the platform, review count and collection date. We will not blend unrelated businesses with similar names or imply that a small review sample proves universal quality.
Corrections and listing requests
A submission channel is not open yet. Once available, it will request public business details and evidence for the claims being made. Submitted information will need checking before publication.
A directory should help readers ask better questions, not substitute a badge for their own comparison of written scope, price and references. This page is an editorial policy, not a representation that any business has already passed these checks.
