Separate service areas from office locations

A provider can serve places where it has no office. Combining the two can make location filters return misleading results.

Directoryz editorial guide · Updated September 7, 2026

Put it into practice

Define a physical-location field and a separate coverage field. Ask contributors to specify the difference in submission instructions.

Worked example · illustrative

What this looks like

A remote consultant based in one city may serve clients nationally; that does not mean the consultant has an office in every city.

Before you move on

Are location results describing presence, coverage, or both clearly?

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.
