Sponsored means sponsored
Sponsored visibility, when available, must be labeled so it is not confused with verification or recommendations.
Trust-first visibility
Visibility is useful only when professionals can trust the signal.
The Services Portal is designed so paid visibility does not pretend to be trust. Professionals should understand why they are seeing a listing and what signals support it.
Verification is earned
Verification is based on review criteria for the listing and business identity evidence, not on a bigger plan.
Recommendations stay practical
Professionals can save useful providers and recommend companies after positive experiences without public ratings noise.
Trust stays separate
Sponsored visibility stays labeled and separate from verification, recommendations, and organic trust signals.
Local discovery
Service providers can be discovered by category, market, and approved service area after review.
Discovery-only mobile
Native apps let professionals search, save, recommend, and contact active listings only.
