Registering your business

How to take ownership of your entry with a text message, and what changes once you have.

Published July 14, 2026

What “Registered” means

Every business in the registry has a public entry, whether or not the owner has ever seen it. Registering is how you take ownership of yours. Once you do, your entry carries a “Verified by the owner” seal, and you get the private side: your full AI Score, the specific signals holding it back, and a dashboard to act on them.

Registering is free and takes no card. It stays free — the honest read on where you stand is not something we charge for.

How to register

  • Find your business. Search from the registration page, or use the “Register” button on your public entry.
  • Enter your mobile number. We text you a six-digit code. Standard message rates apply.
  • Enter the code. That one step verifies your phone, creates your account, and records the registration together.

We verify by phone because a business’s phone line is the hardest thing for a stranger to fake. It keeps the register honest without paperwork.

What happens next

If we are still reading your business — new entries get a full pass over your website, listings, reviews, and what AI assistants say — you will see the registry scan run first. It usually takes a minute or two.

Then we ask where to send your report: an email address and a password. This becomes your sign-in, so you can open your dashboard from any device without waiting on a text. After that you land on your dashboard: your AI Score, how you compare nearby, and what to fix first.

Signing in later

Use your email and password at the sign-in page. The text-message code is only for registering — after that, email is how you get in. Forgot the password? The sign-in page has a reset link.

Common questions

Is registering really free?

Yes. Registering, your AI Score, and your dashboard are free, and we never ask for a card to register. Paid plans exist for owners who want us to do the fixing — they are separate and optional.

The code never arrived. What do I do?

Use the resend button on the code screen, or change the number if you mistyped it. Codes expire after ten minutes, so ask for a fresh one if you waited.

Someone else already registered my business. What now?

Write to us through the contact page with the business name and your role. A person checks every ownership dispute before anything changes hands.

Can more than one person manage the business?

Yes. Once registered, you can invite a partner, manager, or marketer with their own sign-in. See inviting someone to help.
