Frequently asked questions
Is a basic listing free?
Yes. Community listings are free so the directory can become genuinely comprehensive.
Why does my listing say “Needs owner verification”?
It was identified through public research or a market/vendor reference, but the business owner has not yet claimed and confirmed the profile.
Are map markers exact?
Not always. Unclaimed launch listings may use community-level approximate placement. Claimed listings can provide exact coordinates and address details.
Can customers leave reviews?
The site uses moderated “recommendations.” Submissions are held for approval before publication to reduce spam and abuse.
How do businesses add photos?
Create an owner account, submit a claim, and after approval use the dashboard upload form. New photos are also moderated.
Does paying guarantee a positive recommendation?
No. Sponsorship and membership are advertising products and are separated from editorial judgment.
