Standards
Editorial policy
Real data only. Every listing describes a business we believe to exist, compiled from publicly available information. We do not create demonstration listings, sample businesses, placeholder reviews, invented ratings or invented awards.
Sourcing. Editorial articles disclose their data source and selection criteria. If we can't source a claim, we don't publish it.
Corrections. Anyone can request a correction or removal from a business profile page. Verified owners can claim a listing and update it directly. Removal requests are honored.
Commercial disclosure. The guide is operated by AdResst Media, which sells growth infrastructure services to local businesses. Advertising and premium listings are labeled. Editorial selection and Growth Infrastructure Scores are not for sale.
Contact and consent. We only contact a business through a channel it has explicitly permitted. Automated voice contact requires separate, explicit authorization and is always disclosed as AI at the start of a call.
The Valley Business Guide is a local-business visibility initiative created and operated by AdResst Media.
Business information is compiled from publicly available sources and may be updated by the verified business owner.
