# Directories and Third-Party Websites

> Mar 9, 2026

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:
