GetLocalVerified exists to help consumers find trustworthy local service providers. This policy explains how we maintain editorial independence and accuracy.

No Paid Rankings

No business can pay to be listed, ranked higher, or featured on GetLocalVerified. Listing order within each tier is alphabetical. Tier assignments are based solely on verified credentials and documented evidence.

No Affiliate Links

We do not use affiliate links, referral codes, or any form of commission-based linking. When we link to a business website, it is a direct link with no tracking parameters.

No Advertising Revenue

GetLocalVerified does not display advertisements, accept sponsored content, or run advertorial listings. There is no revenue relationship between this site and any listed business.

Ranking Methodology

Providers are sorted first by tier (highest certification first), then alphabetically within each tier. This is consistent across all pages. No provider receives preferential placement for any reason other than their verified credentials. See our full verification methodology.

Conflict of Interest

No member of our editorial team has a financial interest in any listed business. If a conflict were to arise, the affected listing would be flagged and reviewed by an independent party.

Content Accuracy

We strive for factual accuracy in all listings. Every factual claim is sourced from primary databases, official records, or documented community sources. When we cannot verify a claim, we note the uncertainty explicitly rather than presenting it as fact.

Corrections

We take errors seriously. If you find inaccurate information on any page, please report it through our corrections process. Verified errors are corrected promptly and logged publicly.
