Frequently asked questions
AI-powered semantic search understands user intent beyond keyword matching—"emergency plumber" automatically prioritizes providers with 24/7 availability and fast response times. Natural language processing handles conversational queries like "find a dentist who takes my insurance near downtown" by extracting location, insurance requirements, and service type. Automatic categorization classifies listings into taxonomies using ML models trained on millions of examples. Entity extraction identifies addresses, phone numbers, emails, and business hours from unstructured text. Duplicate detection merges similar listings. Quality scoring ranks listings based on completeness, engagement metrics, and user satisfaction. Search learns from user behavior—clicked results and bookings improve future relevance.
Yes.

Payment integration with Stripe, PayPal processes subscriptions and one-time purchases. Auction system lets businesses bid for top placement. Revenue dashboard tracks earnings, conversion rates, and ROI per listing. Automated invoicing and tax compliance. Affiliate tracking for referral programs.

Multi-step verification includes email confirmation (automated workflow), phone verification (SMS codes), business license validation (API integrations with government databases), physical address verification (postcard with code or GPS check), and identity verification (passport, driver's license via AI OCR). Verification badges build user trust. Continuous monitoring flags outdated listings (business closed, phone disconnected, website down). Review moderation catches fake reviews using ML detection. Claim your business workflows let owners update incorrect listings. Quality scores incentivize complete profiles with photos, descriptions, hours. Automatic enforcement suspends low-quality or fraudulent listings. Re-verification annually maintains data accuracy.
Fully white-labeled with custom domain, branding, logo, colors, and styling matching your brand. Custom schema defines listing fields specific to your niche (restaurants need menus, doctors need specialties, events need dates). Configurable search filters and facets relevant to your domain. Custom workflows for listing approval, updates, and renewals. Programmable ranking algorithms using your business logic. API access enables custom mobile apps, integrations, and tools. React component library builds custom frontends. Headless CMS architecture separates data from presentation. Multi-language support in 50+ languages with automatic translation. Regional customization adapts UI and features per market. Most customizations deploy via configuration, not code.
Architected for scale: handle 10M+ listings with billions of searches monthly. Distributed indexing across 300+ edge locations ensures <50ms search globally regardless of data volume. Automatic sharding partitions data geographically—searches only scan relevant regions. Incremental indexing updates changed listings in <1 second without reindexing entire directory. Bulk operations import/update millions of listings efficiently via background jobs. CDN caching serves static content (images, profiles) with 99%+ cache hit rates. Database read replicas scale read capacity automatically. Write capacity scales horizontally across regions. Enterprise plans support 100M+ listings, dedicated infrastructure, and custom performance SLAs (guaranteed p99 latency, uptime commitments).
