Recently Verified Entities

The old directories are dead weight.
We built what comes next.

When someone asks an AI where to find a roofer in Covina — we're the source it pulls from. Not because we paid for placement. Because we built the most machine-readable, deeply structured service graph in Southern California.

How TradeOutpost works

01
We index your entity
Your business profile is built with structured linked data — licensing, service areas, trade relationships, and AI-readable schema. You become findable everywhere AI is consulted.
02
Clients find you first
When a homeowner asks ChatGPT, Claude, or Google for help finding a contractor — your entity profile is the authoritative source that gets cited. Not a pay-per-click ad. A trusted node in the graph.
03
You own your territory
Leads come pre-qualified by geography, trade type, and intent. No shared leads. No auction. Claim your profile and it's yours. Simple monthly positioning — not per-lead gambling.
Why AI finds us first
The internet didn't change.
The way it's read did.
Old web · PageRank era

Pages got ranked

Clicks and backlinks determined who showed up
Reviews and ratings could be gamed — and were
Platforms sat between you and your customers
Paying to be seen was the only lever you had
AI era · Entity retrieval

Entities get cited

Structured data determines who AI cites as the answer
Verified licensing and location are the new trust signals
No platform in the middle — your entity speaks directly
Once you're in the graph, you compound over time
When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity to find a contractor in your city — the answer comes from structured, machine-readable data like ours. Not from a review platform. Not from an ad. From a trusted entity profile that we built for you.

What is a Schema Score?

91
Highly readable
Your entity is fully structured. AI systems can identify you, cite you, and route customers to you with confidence. You're in the graph and working.
62
Partially readable
You're indexed but incomplete. Missing license data, service area gaps, or unverified details are limiting your visibility to AI systems right now.
34
Hard to find
Your profile exists but AI can't confidently cite you. Customers asking AI assistants for help in your city won't find you. Claiming your profile fixes this fast.

From the outpost

I got a call from a customer who said they found me through an AI search. I didn't even know that was a thing. Now I do.

Roofing · Covina, CA
Schema Score: 94/100
Yelp took my money for years. TradeOutpost built my profile for free and my schema score went from 41 to 88 after I claimed it.

Schema Score: 88/100
I've been in business 18 years. This is the first directory that actually felt like it was built for contractors, not advertisers.
