[Mar 9, 2026] Directories and Third-Party Websites

Web presence analysis now incorporates directory listings — such as BBB, Yelp, and Yellow Pages — as a first-class data source.

What this means for your results:

• Directory listings are now used to identify the correct business website
• Officer information is extracted from directory profiles
• Contact details (address, phone, email) found on directories are validated and matched

options: ["Order.DirectoryListings"] is now a new option in the payload that will retrieve third-party directories where the searched business appears listed.

The new found_directory_listings will return an array of objects like this one:

"found_directory_listings": [
        {
          "source": "artisanhub.co.uk",
          "url": "https://artisanhub.co.uk/store/artisan-island-ltd/?page=1",
          "category": "Consignment Store",
          "business_name": "Artisan Island Ltd",
          "phone_number": null,
          "email": null,
          "business_website": null,
          "address": "41 ST MARY STREET WEYMOUTH ENGLAND DT4 8PU UNITED KINGDOM",
          "people": []
        }
      ],

Additionally, a new DIRECTORY_LISTING source type will appear in web presence fields such as address_match_sources wherever directory data contributed to a match.

You can request directory listings via API or the console:
