Business accuracy layer
Claim a Listing
A claim is how a business asks for accuracy, ownership review, and public-detail fixes. It is not how someone buys a better editorial position, and that separation is what keeps the guide useful.
Important: claimed, featured, sponsored, and editorial labels stay separate on public pages, even when the same business appears in more than one context.
What a claim can fix
- business name, website, and public contact details
- service area, category fit, and basic description accuracy
- hours, booking links, and correction notes when the public page expands
- ownership or management verification details
What stays editorial
A claim does not guarantee placement, ranking, review removal, or a softer write-up. Paid visibility can exist later, but it has to stay labeled and separate from editorial judgment.
Fastest approval path
- send the business name, live website, and category
- name the exact detail that is wrong or incomplete
- include your best contact email
- use the contact route once instead of chasing multiple channels
Clear labels protect both the business and the reader.
That is the real product rule here. The moment a claim starts looking like a purchased editorial win, the trust value of the whole guide drops.
