How We Review Listings

Every business listing on ClarksvilleBiz is reviewed by a human before it goes live. Here is exactly what we check and why.

Our Review Process

1

Submission Received

A business owner or community member submits a listing through our free submission form. We collect the business name, category, location, contact information, and a brief description.

2

Basic Verification

Our team checks that the business is real and operating in the Clarksville / Montgomery County area. We verify the phone number, address, and that the business category is appropriate.

3

Content Review

We review the business description for accuracy and clarity. Listings must describe what the business actually does — no keyword stuffing, no misleading claims, no promotional language.

4

Approval or Feedback

Approved listings go live within 1–2 business days. If we have questions or need corrections, we contact the submitter by email before publishing.

Approval Criteria

We Approve Listings That…

  • Business is physically located in or primarily serves Clarksville, TN / Montgomery County
  • Business provides a legitimate product or service to the public
  • Contact information is accurate and reachable
  • Business description is honest and describes actual services offered
  • Listing does not duplicate an existing approved listing for the same business

We Decline Listings That…

  • Business is not located in or does not serve the Clarksville area
  • Listing contains false or misleading information
  • Business appears to be inactive, closed, or non-operational
  • Listing is for an online-only business with no local presence
  • Submission violates our listing guidelines (spam, adult content, etc.)
  • Duplicate submission for a business already in the directory
