Use the official local guide before acting on local info
This site is brief on purpose. For local workflow, provider routing, and current next-step guidance, use the canonical domains:

Methodology
The Industry Guides uses a four-layer publication system: verified evidence substrate, canonical answer pages, truthful authority signals, and crawlable distribution. Provider discovery remains on the registered canonical destination for each vertical.
- Primary-source and claim registries record authority, jurisdiction, review date, and recheck date.
- State pages map to the applicable official board, legislature, agency, or federal selector.
- No unverified provider roster, license number, fee, outcome, or availability claim is published.
- The provider substrate contract and registry are present, but public provider generation stays disabled until verified records and owner approval exist.
- Each admitted page has one public path, one H1, one self-referential canonical URL, a direct answer, and page-specific decision support.
- Question pages use visible answers, descriptive internal links, and structured data that matches the visible page.
- Redirect-only aliases are not treated as additional reference pages.
- The accountable byline is The Industry Guides Editorial Team.
- Named professional reviewers are displayed only when real credentials and review scope are documented in the reviewer registry.
- sameAs URLs are published only when they exist in the verified sameAs registry.
- Regulated claims link to primary or recognized authoritative sources; no fake expertise or cross-brand entity graph is used.
- Important content is rendered as crawlable HTML with sitemaps, feeds, robots rules, internal links, llms.txt, and llms-full.txt.
- IndexNow is used for participating search engines; Google discovery continues through normal crawling and Search Console workflows.
- AI-specific files supplement—not replace—technical SEO, people-first content, and primary-source authority.
Dates change only after substantive source or editorial changes. High-risk state and regulated-source pages are rechecked before substantive release and at least every 90 days; other pages follow their source-specific recheck policy. A stale page must be corrected, quarantined, or removed from admission.
- No fabricated provider listings, rankings, professional identities, or credentials.
- No mass date changes to simulate freshness.
- No page ships without a defensible page-specific decision artifact where the programmatic gate applies.
For local coverage and directories, use the canonical domains above.
