Answer
To ensure the accuracy and trustworthiness of our directory, all business listings on Local Where 2 go through a simple yet thorough validation process before being approved.
- What We Check During Validation:
-
Website and Social Links: We confirm that all URLs entered are working and lead to a legitimate business presence.
-
Online Presence: We search for your business on Google to ensure it can be found publicly.
-
Contact Details: We verify that your email, address, and phone number match those found on your website or social channels.
-
Business Name: We check that your business name is consistent across all platforms. For franchises or businesses with the same name, we may append the location to distinguish your listing.
-
Duplicate Listings: If multiple listings share the same address and website but are registered under different names, we may merge or restrict them to reflect one unified business listing.
-
- What Happens If My Business Doesn’t Pass Validation?
      If your listing does not meet our validation criteria or breaches our Terms and Conditions:
-
-
It will either be moved to Pending status or removed from the platform.
-
You will receive a notification by email with information on why the listing was flagged and what actions, if any, are required.
-
Listings placed on pending can be reviewed and updated for reconsideration.
