Directory information

Correction, update or claim review.

A free route for business owners and visitors to report inaccurate Directory information.

A business owner, authorised representative or visitor may report inaccurate information. A business owner or authorised representative may request a claim review. Neither route requires the requester to purchase or enquire about an A.C.E Tailored service.

The requester should provide:

  • the business name and profile URL;
  • the correction, update or claim requested;
  • their relationship to the business;
  • a reliable public source or proportionate supporting evidence;
  • safe reply contact details.

The Directory will:

  • acknowledge and review the request as soon as reasonably practicable, without promising an unsupported public service level;
  • verify authority from owner-controlled sources where possible;
  • request only the minimum additional evidence reasonably necessary;
  • correct supported inaccuracies;
  • temporarily unpublish disputed material where continued display creates a material accuracy, impersonation, privacy or safety risk;
  • treat competing claims as a human-review matter;
  • keep private evidence and dispute narratives off public pages;
  • record the request, evidence considered, decision, action and review/deletion date privately.

A claim request does not automatically transfer control of a page and is not automatic proof of ownership.

Closure and duplicate reports use the same route. A supported closure may result in correction, temporary unpublication or retirement. A supported duplicate report results in one canonical profile being retained.
