Define listing status labels people understand

Status labels should describe a real editorial or operational state. Words such as verified can imply more checking than actually occurred.

Directoryz editorial guide · Updated September 7, 2026

Put it into practice

Write a definition and transition rule for each label. Publish only labels whose meaning you can explain consistently.

Worked example · illustrative

What this looks like

Website checked describes a narrower review than Provider verified; choose the label that matches the work performed.

Before you move on

Would a reasonable visitor infer more assurance than your process provides?

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

  1. Choose a representative set of listings.
  2. Record the source and meaning of each field.
  3. Review the public result before applying changes widely.

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.
