For Texas business owners

How to become a Featured listing

Basic listings and claim/correction requests are free. Optional Verified is $97 one-time and requires research and a 10-minute call. Featured puts you on every page of the directory, and only one business per category gets it.

Online payment is not switched on. Nothing is charged from this site.

How it works

How a listing moves from free to Featured

  1. 01

    Request a free claim or correction

    Your business may already be listed from public information. Use its listing-page form to request a free claim or correction. Our team reviews requests before making changes; no paid verification is required for a correction.

  2. 02

    Get Verified

    Verified costs $97 one-time and includes research and a required 10-minute verification call. The Verified badge goes live only after successful verification; payment or contact confirmation alone does not qualify.

  3. 03

    Apply for Featured

    If your category’s Featured spot is open, we schedule your 60-minute interview, build your showcase and put you in the statewide carousel.

After verification is approved, the listing is shown ahead of other listings in matching city and ZIP searches. More complete profiles rank higher inside that group, and equal completeness rotates daily. It is not a guarantee of the top spot, leads, or a quality ranking. Review counts are not used. Featured placement is separate and is not included in the $97.

Questions

Good to know

Anything else? Email listings@verifiedtexas.com

How many Featured businesses are there per category?

One. Each category has a single Featured spot across Texas, so the spot is first come, first served while it’s open.

Do you guarantee leads or Google rankings?

No. We never promise leads, a number-one spot, or search rankings. Featured is a labeled carousel. Ordinary city, ZIP, and category order follows completeness and a daily rotation.

What if you can’t verify my business?

If we can’t verify you as a real Texas business, the $97 Verified fee is refunded in full.

Does Featured put me above free listings?

No. Featured is the labeled carousel. It does not by itself move a listing ahead in ordinary city, ZIP, or category results. Approved Verified leads only a matching city or ZIP search, and no listing is approved yet.

Is the free listing really free?

Yes, forever. Free listings appear in city, category and ZIP search. Ordinary results are ordered by profile completeness, with a daily rotation when scores match. Approved Verified is placed ahead only in the matching city or ZIP. Featured is a separate labeled placement, not an automatic rank above every free listing.
