Editorial policy

How listings are sourced

Listings may begin with official company websites, public business contact pages, public agency records, business-submitted information, or corrections from authorized representatives. Internal research notes and unpublished records are not displayed publicly.

What public status labels mean

Directory reviewed

We reviewed the public website, contact information, and apparent relevance to this directory.

Commercial services confirmed

An official company source explicitly describes commercial work.

Business claimed

An authorized representative completed the manual claim process.

Details require confirmation

One or more material details—such as capability, coverage, availability, or contact information—should be confirmed directly.

What we do not independently verify

Directory review is not a background check, audit, warranty, or professional qualification. We do not independently guarantee licensing, insurance, bonding, certifications, personnel, safety performance, pricing, availability, service quality, or suitability for a project.

Review cadence

Records are reviewed when first prepared for publication and may be revisited after a correction, claim, material source change, or periodic market audit. The review month shown on a profile comes from that record’s latest documented review date.

Corrections and removals

Anyone may report a factual issue through the correction path. Requests should identify the listing, disputed detail, and a reliable source. Removal requests are reviewed for identity, public-interest, legal, and editorial considerations; removal is not automatic solely because a listing is unclaimed.

How ownership claims are reviewed

Claimants must identify their role and provide business contact information. The directory may request confirmation through an official domain, a listed business phone number, public records, or other reasonable evidence before marking a listing as claimed or accepting material changes.

Paid placement and ranking

Sponsored and featured placements are paid and clearly labeled. Paid placement may affect ordering within an eligible category or city, but it does not guarantee leads, create an endorsement, change factual status labels, or override editorial eligibility. Payment is not required for inclusion.

Conflicts of interest

Editorial corrections and publication decisions use the same factual standards for free and paid listings. Commercial relationships are disclosed through placement labels. A person with a material conflict should not be the sole reviewer of a disputed listing decision.
