Pending Review & Approval

  • Business authenticity

  • No duplicate entries

Once approved, you will receive coins (calculated based on completeness). Rejected listings can be edited and resubmitted.

Approved listings appear on the frontend. As a business owner, you can:

  • Edit – update any information (title, description, contact, logo).
  • View Stats – see how many people viewed your listing.
  • Add Products/Services – showcase what you offer with images, descriptions, and price ranges.
  • Reply to Reviews – when customers leave reviews, you can respond (owner role only).

Claim an Existing Business

If your business is already listed (e.g., added by another user), you can claim ownership:

  • Visit the listing page and click “Claim This Business”.
  • Provide proof of ownership (message to admin).
  • Once approved, your role becomes “Owner” – you gain full control: edit, reply to reviews, add products, and more.
  • Owners have an exclusive dashboard with all management tools.
