Transparent rules

How the directory is built

The directory does not accept public listing submissions, user reviews, or paid placement. Records are added and verified manually.

Source verification

The positioning and capabilities of a real company must link to a current official source.

Preview verification

Preview profiles are labeled throughout, use noindex, and are excluded from Organization, Review, and AggregateRating schema.

Service verification

Every real service assignment stores a source and verification date.

City verification

Remote availability and a local office are different facts. A general remote-work statement does not prove city coverage.

Content verification

Every page must answer a distinct buyer question and pass duplication review.

Publication

Only registered URLs may move from candidate to QA, noindex publication, and indexing.

Company-count rule

  • 0 companies: the route is not published
  • 1 company: show a profile, not a ranking
  • 2–4 companies: an editorial shortlist without stars or “best” claims
  • 5 or more verified companies: a numeric model is possible only after a separate methodology review

Potential future 100-point model

  • Service relevance: 30 points
  • Verified case studies: 20 points
  • Verified coverage: 20 points
  • Source freshness: 15 points
  • Profile completeness: 10 points
  • Availability: 5 points
