Put it into practice
Compare stable IDs, websites, and context. Review likely matches manually before merging fields or dropping rows.
What this looks like
Two entries for the same software product may share a website but differ in punctuation; two local firms may share a common name.
Before you move on
What evidence shows that the records represent the same entity?
Write down the evidence for your answer. If you cannot point to a concrete example, revise the work before treating it as ready.
A repeatable workflow
- Keep an untouched source copy.
- Test changes on a small sample.
- Compare imported records with the original data.
Your working notes
Apply this guide to one real project. Notes stay in this page until you download them; they are not saved to your account.
Where Directoryz fits
Directoryz supports directory publishing, listings and custom fields, CSV imports, submission review, and workspace operations. These guides include editorial workflows you can carry out with a worksheet or your own tools. They do not imply that every audit, reminder, verification, or integration is automated by Directoryz.
