Checked Local
Cities How we rank For businesses

Local businesses, checked before they’re ranked.

Every business is matched to the register that licenses its trade or profession. The order comes only from what we can verify, never from ratings copied off another site.

Browse by city

Each city page shows every category, what’s ranked already and what’s coming next.

Browse by vertical

Every vertical follows the same rules. What changes is the register each business is checked against.

The same rules everywhere

A register match comes first
Businesses we can’t match to a current licence or registration are counted, but never named or ranked.
12 businesses before a page
A list goes live only once 12 businesses in that category and city pass the check.
Ties stay ties
When businesses have the same verified record, they share a rank. We don’t break ties with data we can’t check.
Placement can’t be bought
Position comes only from the published formula. See how we rank.
