Directory facts change. Show where key details came from, when they were checked, and what the publisher has not verified. Distinguish official information from user-submitted notes. If a listing includes a phone number, location, price, or eligibility claim, provide a source or explain how the owner confirmed it. Add a correction route so businesses or readers can report changes.
Example: A marketplace listing may show a company sells used trailers, while a carrier record only confirms that the company operates vehicles. Label those sources separately and avoid inferring buying intent. Google’s AdSense page-readiness recommendations emphasize relevance and visitor experience; useful provenance can help visitors understand how to evaluate directory entries.
Use SiteReadyScore to identify directory pages and public links for a review, then manually verify current details with the source. A scan cannot verify a company’s status or the truth of a listing.
