# About ServiceScout

Updated October 29, 2026

In short

ServiceScout is a search engine for local services. Instead of a short list, you see every business we can find for the job, with the facts you need to compare them.

## How we work

- **Everyone is listed for free.** A complete free profile can reach the top of the results. [How results are ordered](https://servicescoutlocal.com/how-results-are-ordered/)
- **Payment never changes the order.** Paid spots are labelled Sponsored. [How we make money](https://servicescoutlocal.com/how-we-make-money/)
- **Records over claims.** We check licenses and insurance against official sources before we show a Verified badge.
- **Mistakes get fixed in the open.** [Report an error](https://servicescoutlocal.com/corrections/) and we check it against the source.

ServiceScout is free to use. We earn money from optional business upgrades, clearly labelled sponsored placements and, when you request a quote, from the businesses that receive it. None of these change how results are ordered.

Ratings and review counts come from public sources and are rechecked regularly. © 2026 ServiceScout
