How we verify

We verify facts. We do not vouch. Every claim on this site is a public record we checked, with the source and the date we checked it. A verified badge means we matched the business to an active license. It is one input for your decision, not a guarantee.

What the verified-license badge means

For licensed trades, we match each business against the official public registry for that trade in its state. Every badge names the registry it was checked against, and as the directory expands, each new state's own registries apply. Registries we verify against today:

Construction trades (AZ): Arizona Registrar of Contractors
Pest control (AZ): Arizona Department of Agriculture Pest Management Division

We only show the badge when all of the following are true:

We found a license that matches the business name and city.
The license status is Active (not expired, suspended, or revoked).
The license class covers the trade the business is listed under.
There is no disciplinary action recorded against the license.

Each verified business page has a "How we verified this license" panel showing the license number, the date we checked, and the registry we checked it against. Licenses change, so always confirm the current status yourself at the official lookup: the AZ ROC contractor search for construction trades, or the AZ Dept of Agriculture pest business lookup for pest control.

Three kinds of information on this site

We verified it

License status from the official state registry for the trade, and listing facts (name, location, hours, photos) drawn from public sources. These carry a source and a date.

The business reported it

Anything a business tells us about itself when it claims its listing. We label it as self-reported and do not independently confirm it.

Your job

Get quotes, check insurance and bonding, read recent reviews, and confirm the license is still active before you hire. A badge is a starting point, not due diligence done for you.
