We compile listings from public sources, score them from public customer reviews, and publish the whole method so anyone can check it. Nothing here is for sale. Businesses do not pay to appear, they are not charged to stay, and no business can buy a better position. Ranking is featured-blind: the engine that builds a score cannot see whether a business has paid for anything, because it is never given that information. We are new. The first directory launched in 2026 and the others are being built, so every directory page states its status plainly rather than implying a history we do not have.

All of it is written down. How we rank businesses [/methodology/ →](/methodology/) 02 ### Rank is not for sale Ranking is featured-blind. The ranking engine cannot see whether a business has paid for anything, and no paid placement is offered today. Editorial standards [/editorial-standards/ →](/editorial-standards/) 03 ### The listing set is re-checked monthly Closed businesses come off automatically at the monthly re-check. Scores move as public reviews accumulate, so a directory does not sit and rot. How to read a listing [/guide/how-to-read-a-listing/ →](/guide/how-to-read-a-listing/) 04 ### Listing is free, and so is leaving No business pays to appear and none is charged to stay. Corrections and removals are free, with a five-business-day target for standard requests.

Section 05 // Coverage model ## One site per trade, not one per neighbourhood Singapore is one market. The same companies serve Tampines and Jurong in the same week, so a separate site for every planning area would list the same businesses over and over, and a reader would have to work out that the lists are identical. Area coverage lives inside each directory instead, as area tags and planning-area pages. One place where a business's details live, one place where its score is calculated, one place a correction has to be applied. Why we built it this way [/guide/why-one-site-per-trade-in-singapore/ →](/guide/why-one-site-per-trade-in-singapore/) ![Typographic method plate framed by double hairline rules](/images/misc/abstract-typographic-method-plate-wide-letterform-.webp) Section 06 // FAQ ## Common questions Can a business pay to rank higher? No. Rankings are featured-blind — the ranking engine cannot see whether a business has paid for anything, and no paid placement is offered today. Scores are built from public customer reviews only. Who added my business, and do I need an account? Listings are compiled from public sources. You do not need to register, claim, or respond to anything, and nobody will call to sell you something. To change or remove a listing, email hello@sgheartlandguides.com. Is being listed free? Yes. Listing is free and staying listed is free. No business pays to appear and none is charged to stay. Corrections and removals are free too. How do I correct or remove my listing? Email hello@sgheartlandguides.com with your business name, the directory it appears on, and what is wrong. The target is five business days for standard requests, faster for legal ones. Removal requests are honoured and a removed business is not penalised.
