How the system works
Org submits a claim
Organization files a structured form via the claim portal. Takes 10–20 min.
Authorized reviewer decides
A scoped reviewer checks the submission and recorded evidence, then approves, denies, or escalates it.
Approved listing publishes
Only a listing with positive publication authority can appear in search, chat, map views, and supported data exports.
Org maintains their record
The host portal gives the org an authenticated workspace to update hours, services, and locations at any time.
