The directory connects operational software to a public listing. This relationship presents services declared by the centre, directs clients to the correct portal and limits reviews to people with a genuinely completed job.
Which centres appear in the directory?
A business creates a workspace with its legal name, optional operating name, address and contact details. Once activated, it can publish its listing. Every business has its own users, settings, catalogues, hours and data.
The directory is not a list automatically copied from the web. It presents centres using the platform and controlling the information in their own listing.
Who provides and updates the information?
The centre manages its logo, French and English descriptions, website, public phone, address, map coordinates, hours and catalogue. Availability comes from its access period, hours, closures and configured capacity.
A listing with an obviously incomplete address remains accessible to people, but is not submitted for indexing or included in the sitemap until essential information is ready.
How does a review become “verified”?
The client must be signed in to the same centre and have a booking marked cutting completed, client notified or picked up. A booking can receive only one review from the relevant client.
The client can publish their first name and last initial or appear as “Verified client.” Ratings range from one to five stars and can include a comment. The public average uses only published reviews.
How are results ordered?
By default, the directory favours centres accepting new requests, then considers rating, review volume and catalogue completeness. Clients can also sort by rating, distance or name.
A subscription makes the listing eligible for the directory, but it does not buy a better rating. At this time, no sponsored placement is inserted into recommended ordering.
Centre responses and moderation
A centre can respond to a review; the response appears with it to add context. The platform super administrator can publish or hide a review when moderation is necessary. Hiding a review removes it from the public average.
Verification confirms that a service job existed. It does not certify every claim in a comment or replace reader judgment. Compare multiple signals and contact the centre about important questions.
Why keep a listing between seasons?
Some centres primarily operate during a hunting season. After four-month access expires, their identity, contact details, services and reviews remain useful. The listing therefore shows “Between seasons” and closes new bookings until the next purchase.
A cancelled or unpaid annual subscription follows the same principle after the paid period. Data remains available to view; reactivation reopens the same business without starting over.
Listing transparency
Can a centre buy a better rating?
No. The average rating comes from reviews posted by eligible clients. Paying for a subscription does not change the rating or review content.
Why does an expired listing remain visible?
It preserves useful information, contact details and review history. The listing shows that the centre is between seasons and blocks new requests.
Can a centre respond to a review?
Yes. The centre can publish a response shown beneath the review. The platform can also hide content that does not meet publishing expectations.
