Important: Submitting or paying does not guarantee a score, badge, ranking, verification, or recommendation. Businesses pay for an evaluation only.
Once you submit your business, PLOCAL follows a clear, structured evaluation process designed to support consistency, fairness, and trustworthy results.
Your request is received with the business information provided in the submission form.
The PLOCAL team reviews the business using the same six defined evaluation criteria.
When enough information is available, a structured ProScore and the evaluation findings are prepared.
PLOCAL shares the evaluation status, requests any missing information, or explains the next available step.
PLOCAL's evaluation process is designed to be structured, consistent and transparent, helping businesses understand the trust signals customers may review.
Your submitted information is handled only for evaluation and follow-up purposes.
Find answers to common questions about submitting your business, what information to provide, what happens after submission, and how PLOCAL keeps the evaluation process transparent.
A business owner or an authorized representative may submit a business for evaluation. The information provided should be accurate, current, and related to the business being submitted.
Provide the business owner name, business name, category, city, state, and a valid email address. A website, phone number, and additional business notes may also help the evaluation team understand the business more clearly.
PLOCAL reviews the submitted details and the relevant information available about the business. If enough information is available, the business may proceed through the structured evaluation process using the six defined criteria.

Submit the accurate information that is currently available. Missing details may limit what PLOCAL can review, and the evaluation team may request additional information or leave a criterion unresolved rather than assume or invent data.
PLOCAL may use the email address provided in the form to share the submission status, request additional information, or explain the next step. Make sure the contact details are current and monitored.
Yes. If meaningful business information changes, contact PLOCAL with the updated details. A reevaluation may be available according to PLOCAL’s policies, but a new review does not guarantee a higher score or different outcome.
