Directory in review

The directory is not public-ready yet.

We should not promote a directory until the listings are checked. This page explains the standard we are applying before businesses return to the main navigation.

Listing rule: no mass import, no pay-to-look-best shortcuts, and no “best” claims without visible criteria. Each future listing needs current contact details, source links, neighborhood fit, last-verified date, and sponsorship disclosure.

Future categories

  • Source URLs and a last-verified date.
  • Clear sponsorship label if the business paid for visibility.
