Before you start

Selection can’t be bought.

Claiming, verifying or upgrading your profile never changes whether you are one of our three, or your position. [How we select](https://thelocalthree.com/how-we-select/).

How it works

## Five steps, most of them optional

1.

### Find

Look up your business by name and city. Every business we have reviewed has a basic profile.

About a minute

2.

### Claim

Tell us who you are and your role in the business.

Two minutes

3.

### Verify

We call or text the phone number on your profile with a code, or email an address at your business’s own domain.

Two minutes

4.

### Edit

Correct your details, add photos, hours, services and the areas you cover.

As long as you like

5.

### Upgrade

Optional: an enhanced profile with a full gallery and project stories.

Only if you want it

What you can edit

## Your facts, our judgement

Facts are yours to keep right. Our editorial text — “Why we picked them”, labels and notes — stays ours, so readers can trust it.

- **Contact details** — phone, website, email and address
- **Hours and service area** — the neighbourhoods you really cover
- **Services** — what you do, and what you don’t
- **Photos** — of your own finished work
- **Corrections** — flag anything else, answered within five working days

Optional

## Free profile or enhanced profile

An enhanced profile tells your story properly, in the same editorial style as the rest of Local Three. It looks richer. It is not ranked higher.

Claimed profile

**Also available.** Sponsored placements, always labelled “Sponsored” and shown outside the three. Quote requests are only sent to businesses a homeowner ticks.

Disclosure

## What money can’t buy here

- A place among the three in any city or trade.
- A better position, label or “Why we picked them” text.
- Removing or hiding genuine reviews.
- Advance notice of an edition, or a say in who is considered.

Questions

## Questions from business owners

Do I have to be one of the three to claim a profile?

No. Every business we have reviewed has a basic profile, and any of them can claim it for free. Being one of the three is a separate, editorial decision.

Will claiming make it more likely that we are selected?

No. Claiming keeps your details right and lets you add photographs. The editors compare finalists on their public record, and that record is the same whether a profile is claimed or not.

What does my profile need for the Verified seal?

A state license and a business registration we can confirm in public records. You can help by sending your license number; an insurance certificate is shown as a separate check.

Can we show our selection on our own website?

Yes. Selected businesses get a small set of badges with copy-and-paste code. Each one links back to the edition it came from and disappears if the selection changes.
