Partner Program
Build local visibility for every client from one shared system
Create, claim and manage authoritative Business Records for single-location businesses, multi-location companies and franchise organizations. Maintain the record once and request publication across participating Local Internet surfaces.
You are reading this on One Business Record. A partner has one account and one dashboard for the whole network — signing in from any address reaches the same partner organization.

Publishers, associations and franchise organizations
Membership organizations, chambers, publishers and franchise systems use the same programs.
Publishers and associations
Maintain records for your members as an Agency Partner. Members keep ownership of their record, and you keep one place to correct information.
Franchise organizations
Use organization groups, territories and franchise hierarchies so the franchisor controls brand fields while each location maintains its own details.
Enterprise distribution
Provision through the API, apply custom permissions and custom publication rules, and receive data-quality reports under a contract.

Record-quality standards
Platform credit for a migrated record is only issued after the record passes every check below. Credits are platform credits, not cash payments.
Qualification checks
- Passes duplicate detection
- Has a valid business identity
- Has at least one location or service area
- Has a valid category
- Has usable contact information
- Includes source and provenance
- Has authorization or editorial verification
- Meets the configured completeness threshold
- Is approved for publication
Qualified-record credit (test mode)
- 10–24 approved records — $5 per qualified record
- 25–99 approved records — $7 per qualified record
- 100–499 approved records — $10 per qualified record
- 500+ approved records — contracted migration credit
A business that already produced a credit cannot produce another, and a reversed credit locks resubmission for 90 days.
Business ownership protections
Each business retains ownership and control of its authoritative Business Record. An authorized agency may manage the record while its client relationship remains active. The business can revoke or transfer agency access without losing its record, history or publications.
An agency never owns a permanent Business Record simply because it created or imported it. Access is granted per organization, recorded in an append-only audit log, and can be revoked or transferred by the business at any time without losing the record, its history or its publications.
- Business Owner — Owns the Business Record permanently.
- Organization Administrator — Manages users and settings for the business.
- Agency Administrator — Runs the partner account, clients and billing.
- Agency Manager — Manages authorized client records.
- Agency Contributor — Drafts changes for authorized client records.
- Billing Manager — Manages subscriptions and invoices only.
- Reseller Administrator — Provisions and bills reseller customers.
- Editorial Reviewer — Reviews submissions and verification evidence.
- Platform Administrator — Administers the whole shared system.
