GOOD TO KNOW

Local knowledge, openly shared.

Does a listing mean the owner has joined?

No. An unclaimed listing uses public information and does not imply membership, endorsement or a business relationship. Owner-confirmed profiles will be identified separately.

What does the $15 annual fee pay for?

The planned membership adds owner profile management and richer business information. Basic public discovery remains free. Paid membership and checkout are not available in this preview.

Will this guarantee customers or AI recommendations?

No. We aim to make reliable business information easier to find and use. Search visibility, AI recommendations and sales cannot be guaranteed.

Will paid placements be labeled?

Yes. Sponsored placement will be clearly labeled and separate from ownership verification. Paying does not establish that a business owns a listing.
