Below are some general pointers for updating a business page according to our standards regarding:
- Name
- Category
- Phone number
- Address / Map Marker
- Hours
Please keep in mind there may be exceptions to our guidelines, but our moderators will reject any updates they’re unable to verify. There are also a number of style conventions we follow, and if submissions are verified but incorrectly formatted, we may update them to fit our standards.
Name
Names should be succinct and reflect how an average person would refer to the business. For example, store numbers should not be used (such as ”7-Eleven #415”), and we try to avoid keywords, tag lines, or other information that’s available elsewhere on the business page, such as categories.
Category
Categories should be as specific as possible and describe the primary activities of the business rather than the entire scope of the business’ activity. However, categories that aren’t fully represented by a business’ offering may be rejected.
We also add new categories to Reviewbah every quarter. If you believe that a business page is in the wrong category or needs to be updated with a new one, please suggest changes to the business page.
Phone Number
The phone number on a business page should be a direct local phone number where available. We don’t provide a field for extensions and avoid listing numbers for national call centers.
Address / Map Marker
Business pages on Reviewbah are for individual/separate locations of any given business, and a full address is required to be in our directory. There may be exceptions for certain businesses that lack address info (generally local service providers, such as plumbers or property agents), however, these pages require a service area. Residential addresses are discouraged in these cases, unless the business desires to have this public.
If you think a business page has the wrong address, please search in the area and make sure that the location you are looking for is not already in our directory.
Hours
The hours submitted for a business should display the normal operating hours in any given week. These should be in line with what’s reflected on the business’ website or otherwise known (printed on a storefront window, menu, flyer, etc.).
