Working Places in Michigan


Michigan has a standard when working with our Places. In order to ensure consistency and data integrity we enforce the following standard (considered "completing" a place):

  • The name should be in a correct format (i.e. Proper capitalization, spelling, grammar)
There is a national standard being developed by the US State Managers for naming common Places. No current ETA.
  • The address should be completely and correctly filled out.
  • Under the "More Info" tab:
    • The phone number needs to be in the format of: XXX-XXX-XXXX
    • The website needs to be in the format of: www.example.com
      • If it is a business that has multiple locations with corresponding websites, then use the site specific website. Employing the format of: www.example.com/sub-site
    • Check any applicable services
    • Attempt to get the hours and input them
  • Once these criteria are met, either lock the Place to rank 3 or contact an editor who can lock it for you from the Michigan Area Managers.
