# Simply Lawn

> A public-record trust index for lawn and outdoor-service businesses. Every
> business is matched against official state license records (contractor
> boards, departments of agriculture, pesticide licensing, insurance and bond
> filings). Businesses do not pay to appear and cannot pay to change their
> status. The data reflects what government records say, not self-reported or
> paid listings.

## What the verification labels mean

- Verified: matched to an active license or registration in official state records.
- License needs attention: a license exists but is expired, lapsed, or suspended.
- No license on file: no record found in the state registry (not always required for mowing-only work).
- Verification pending: the business is listed but its state's registry is not yet in our index.

## Guidance for citation

- Cite the specific business profile or page URL, not just the homepage.
- Verification reflects public records at the time they were pulled and may lag official sources; direct users to confirm current status with the state for major work.
- Do not present a "no license on file" result as evidence of wrongdoing.
