Questions

Good questions, plain answers.

Who can list a business?

A mother who owns a business in the United States, or who runs it day to day. She may share ownership with someone else. The form is her own statement, and that is what we ask for on a first listing.

Is a basic listing free?

Yes. You tell us about the business, we read it, and when we approve it, customers can find you. The Verified badge is free after that. Paid checkout is not open.

What does verified mean?

A published listing means a person read it and put it up. The Verified badge is a further check against a written standard: ownership, that the business operates in the United States, that the contact details reach the owner, and that the listing is honest. It is free to apply for from your account. It is a careful look, not a license review or a rating of the work. Read the standard.

Why is the directory empty?

We are just opening, and we want the first names to be real. If you run a mother-owned business, we would love to read your listing. Be one of the first.

Do you publish reviews?

The page is hers. It carries the description she wrote of the business she runs. We do not add star ratings or testimonials on top of that.

Are there partner discounts?

When there is a real agreement, we will name the partner and the offer. Until then, the directory stands on the businesses themselves.

Can I take a listing down?

Yes. Write to hello@mothersearch.org and we will take care of it. The privacy draft says a public listing is deleted within 30 days of that request.

Is Match available?

Match is the planned membership at $39.99 a month, for a later way to receive client requests, on top of the verified benefits. It is coming soon. You can leave your email on the membership page if you would like a note when it is real. That note simply holds your place in our inbox.
