Chautauqua Local is an editorial directory. Every listing has a real person checking it. Mistakes still happen — out-of-date hours, wrong phone numbers, businesses that have closed. When you flag one, here's what we do:
Within 48 hours
- We verify the change against at least two sources — the business's website, Google Business Profile, or a phone call to the business directly.
- We update the listing on chautauqualocal.com and update the last verified stamp.
- If the business has closed, we move the listing to inactive (it stops appearing in search results) and add a note.
Sources we trust
- The owner directly (claimed listings)
- The business's own website
- Their verified Google Business Profile
- A phone call answered by the business
What we won't do
- Take down a listing on the basis of a single anonymous report, unless the report is supported by external evidence.
- Change ratings or reviews based on owner request — reviews are moderated for accuracy, not for tone.
- Sell or share reporter contact information.
