FactRoster

How we check

A listing is public only after the facts are checked.

FactRoster does not scrape the web and call it verified. The list grows from businesses that claim their own phone, hours, and service area, then from a check.

  1. 01

    You claim the facts

    Name, phone, after-hours number, hours, and the ZIP codes you serve. A license or permit if you have one. The claim is free.

  2. 02

    The listing stays pending

    Pending records are hidden from the public list and from AI lookups. A claim is not a recommendation and it is not proof.

  3. 03

    Someone checks it

    We confirm the phone is the business's number, the hours match what you take, and the service area is the one you named. Then it can be marked verified.

  4. 04

    Only the verified record is public

    AI apps that use this list can repeat that phone, those hours, and those ZIP codes. They still decide whether to mention you.

What the check is

  • The business name matches the company that answered.
  • The phone is the one customers should call.
  • Hours, including after hours, match what you take.
  • The ZIP list is the area you actually serve.

What the check is not

  • It does not make ChatGPT, Siri, or Google recommend you.
  • It is not a review score and not a rank.
  • Paying does not skip the check.
  • Card billing is not connected yet. A claim can still be saved as pending.
