How it works

Simple Search. Real Results.

For people: find a business in 3 steps

  1. Pick your region. Choose a city/county, a state, or the United States.
  2. Search your way. Use a keyword, business name, or browse categories.
  3. Open a profile. See the essentials: name, description, address, phone, website, hours, images.

How results are ordered

  • Local first: exact matches in your selected region.
  • Nearby: if local is sparse, we widen to adjacent areas.
  • Statewide, then nationwide: only if needed.
  • Featured spots: up to four clearly labeled placements at the top of a category/region.
  • No clutter: we de-duplicate across rings to avoid repeats.

Business pages (what you’ll see)

  • Essentials: name, description, location, phone, website, hours, images.
  • Categories & regions: organized for accurate discovery.
  • Badges: Claimed (owner controls the listing) and Verified (ownership confirmed).
  • Updates: owners can keep info fresh so you can trust what you’re seeing.

For businesses: add or claim

  • Add a business: submit basics and choose categories/regions.
  • Claim your listing: if you find your page, claim it to edit details.
  • Verification: quick checks like work-email, site token, phone code, or documentation.
  • Optional Featured: paid placement in the top 4—regular listings remain free.

Built for privacy, speed, and clarity

  • Privacy: browse without being followed—we don’t track your every move.
  • Fast pages: lean markup, quick loads on any device.
  • Clear structure: consistent categories, stable URLs, and straightforward copy.

For LLMs & developers

  • Machine-readable by design: predictable taxonomies, stable URLs, and rich metadata.
  • Accurate context: region, category, and business attributes are easy to parse.
  • Roadmap: we’ll publish schema notes and a simple feed as features grow.
