Verification
How we help shoppers and neighbors trust the businesses they discover here.
Verification distinguishes businesses that have shown evidence of legitimacy from unclaimed community listings. A verification badge is a signal of confidence — not a guarantee.
The four levels
- Local business
- Confirmed to operate within Middle Georgia and meet basic listing standards.
- Identity verified
- The business owner's identity has been confirmed via documents.
- Licensed professional
- A trade or professional license is on file with the platform.
- Community trusted
- Vouched for by long-time community participation and positive history.
