hiring

Hiring matters only if the evidence supports a paid workflow around keeping listings, locations, maps, and directory submissions accurate, not a list of isolated fixes. The current commercial thesis is: Directory and locator errors create lost leads, stale listings, and support work for local or marketplace sites. The entry wedge is to audit listing completeness, map accuracy, submission failures, and stale directory records.
