Payment & independence
Founding participation is free during the initial launch. Future advertising or marketing services will be disclosed and will not buy a passing verification outcome or a better editorial rating.
OUR FOUNDING REVIEW STANDARD
Trust should come with details.
A “verified” label means specified facts were checked. It is not a guarantee of future performance, a “best business” ranking, or something a company can buy.
Before a profile
goes public.
We’re preparing our first profiles. Joe personally reviews the information and completes the applicable checks before a verification badge appears.
Personal familiarity and networking memberships do not replace evidence. Unknown or incomplete information stays pending.
- 01
Business identity & contact
Confirm the business name, authorized representative, website, and primary customer contact details.
- 02
Service to Livermore
Confirm which services the business provides to Livermore customers. An office outside the city is welcome; a fabricated local address is not.
- 03
Applicable licenses & insurance
Check required professional or trade credentials against the relevant sources and review applicable insurance evidence. Record when a check does not apply and why.
- 04
Customer-feedback sources
Check that linked review profiles belong to the business and review available feedback. Google reviews will be clearly attributed; no invented ratings or testimonials.
- 05
Clear dates & corrections
Show what was checked, by whom, and when. Material changes or concerns prompt further review. Owners and customers can request corrections.
Concerns deserve a fair review
A complaint starts a review, not an automatic removal. Joe will consider the evidence and give the business an opportunity to respond. Serious problems can result in suspension or removal.
Reviews are a separate step
On-site customer reviews are not open yet. The planned process includes personal review of both positive and negative submissions, evidence of the customer interaction, and a chance for the business to respond.
See something wrong?
Contact Joe with the business name, the specific concern, and a source if available. Please keep personal customer information and sensitive documents out of your initial message.
