Trust you can verify.
A platform selling trust can't afford proof that feels invented. Here's what's real, what's measured, and what we're building toward — with every claim labelled honestly.

Machine-readable profiles AI engines can parse and trust
Transparent, weighted scoring from 8 verifiable inputs

Business owner stories
These are illustrative examples based on common outcomes. As our verified business corpus grows, we'll replace them with linked, real business profiles.
"We ran the AI Scan and found three gaps in how ChatGPT saw our business. We fixed them through our Localist profile and started appearing in answers within weeks."
"Connecting our NZBN to a structured profile was the single biggest change we made to our online presence. The difference in AI visibility was immediate."
"The compliance calendar alone is worth bookmarking. Having every deadline in one place saved us a late-filing penalty this year."
How we score your business
Our Authority Score is a weighted sum of eight verifiable inputs: NZBN verification, profile completeness, data confidence, content freshness, review presence, structured data quality, citation corroboration, and engagement signals. Every input is measurable, and we're building a public methodology page so a sceptical business owner can understand exactly how the number is derived.
