Our Verification Standards
The Elite 10 badge is not automatic. Businesses apply, get reviewed for licensing, insurance, and category availability, and are listed only when a position is open in their profession and region.
The Review Process
How a business becomes an Elite 10 member
1. Application review
Every business applies through our membership application and provides its company details, contact information, services, and service area.
2. Licensing and insurance check
Applications are reviewed for the licensing and insurance required for the profession the business is applying under.
3. Category availability
We confirm an open position exists in the requested profession and region. If all ten positions are filled, the application is not approved.
4. Approval and listing
Only approved businesses appear in the directory and display the Elite 10 Verified Professional badge on their profile.
Transparency
What you can check on every profile
We publish the details that let you verify a professional yourself, rather than asking you to take our word for it.
License information
Approved members list the license they operate under, so clients can look it up before hiring.
Insurance coverage
Members state the coverage they carry for the work they perform.
Years in business
Profiles show how long the company has been operating, alongside its services and service area.
Client reviews
Ratings and reviews are shown on the profile after review, so feedback stays visible and accountable.
Why the Limit Matters
Ten positions per profession, per region
Large directories list every business that pays to appear. Elite 10 caps each professional category at ten businesses inside each region, so the shortlist you see stays short and every listing has been reviewed before it is published.
When a category is full in your region, no additional businesses can be added until a position opens.
