How we vet listings
“Hand-vetted” isn't a slogan — it's the process every listing goes through before it appears on Perthly.
A real person reviews every application
Nothing is published automatically. A member of the Perthly team reads every application and checks the business before it appears in the directory.
Genuinely Perth
We confirm the business operates in the Perth metro area — either from a real local premises or as a mobile operator servicing Perth suburbs. Interstate lead-farms don't get in.
Contact details checked
We verify the website, phone number and email actually belong to the business, against the business's own site or public records. We don't publish details we couldn't verify.
The Verified badge
Listings that have passed these checks carry a “Verified by Perthly” badge with the month we last checked. If a business changes hands or its details stop checking out, the badge comes off until we've re-verified.
Spotted something that doesn't look right — a closed business, a wrong number, a listing that shouldn't be here? Email support@artificersai.com and we'll investigate. Reviews have their own rules too — see our review policy.
