How We Verify Businesses
Our methodology for verifying listings before they appear in search and on the map.
Last updated: July 15, 2026
Public & owner-supplied sources
We combine publicly available business information with details owners submit when they add or claim a listing. Phone numbers, addresses and hours are checked against multiple sources when available.
Human review
Listings that look incomplete, duplicated or suspicious are reviewed by our team before they are marked complete and eligible for indexing.
Ongoing corrections
Anyone can report a listing that looks wrong. We investigate and update or remove it when needed.
