Verified identity
Profiles become indexable only after owner or contact verification and completion of useful public fields.
Public operating standard
Trust has requirements.
Transparent participation
Membership can add tools and participation signals, but payment does not secretly determine organic ordering.
Completed-request reviews
Reviews require a completed request and the customer’s approval of the exact public text. Positive and negative eligible reviews follow the same rules.
Expansion gate
A county earns launch.
A future county needs a confirmed local operator, scheduled events, verified local profiles, bookable categories, locally reviewed service pages, original resources, and audited request, consent, and review workflows. Shared technology may repeat; local content may not.
