Public source requirement
Use public, crawlable source URLs. Do not submit private client files, copied review text, MLS-only screenshots, private financial records, or confidential documents.
Submit Evidence
Submit public proof or request a factual correction.
A national agent index only becomes useful if the evidence stays current, source-backed, and clean. This workflow defines what kind of proof can improve the data layer without turning ranking placement into a paid or promotional product.
Ranking Boundary
Evidence can improve accuracy. It cannot buy placement.
Submitting evidence does not buy inclusion, rank, score changes, badges, referrals, or favorable editorial language.
Review-source requirement
Do not copy review text, rating snippets, or portal profile content unless source terms permit it; use source links and aggregate proof labels instead.
Evidence Intake
Submit a public source for review.
Use this form for public URLs and factual context only. Do not submit private client files, copied review text, reviewer names, phone lists, credentials, financial documents, or legal/medical records.
Research stageSubmissions not open yet
We are not accepting evidence submissions through this form yet. The Index is currently publishing research, market coverage, and source-backed comparison tools while intake routing is finalized.
Secure submission routing is in controlled rollout. Use this page today as an evidence worksheet; every source still requires validation before any public change.
Accepted Evidence
Sources that can strengthen the directory.
Production proof
Public ranking, award, brokerage, or profile pages that state sales volume, sides, or production context.
Review proof
Public review-profile URLs and review counts, without copying review text from restricted platforms.
Identity proof
Official agent, team, brokerage, license, roster, or about pages that clarify who the row represents.
AI/Search proof
Cited answer screenshots or source URLs that show how AI/search systems identify the candidate.
Correction proof
Public URLs that show a name, market, category, source, or score input should be updated.
Review Process
How submissions should be evaluated.
- Confirm the submitted URL is public, crawlable, and candidate-specific enough for consumer research.
- Classify the source as production, review, identity, media, citation, website, or AI/search evidence.
- Check whether the source supports the exact claim being requested.
- Update source fields, confidence notes, or candidate status only when evidence supports the change.
- Keep scoring and featured placement independent from agent interest, advertising, referral status, or commercial relationship.
Submission Fields
What a clean evidence request should include.
The Index should ask for URLs and factual context, not promotional copy. A useful submission makes the public evidence trail easier to verify.
