Verification

How listings are verified

BisDak is a curated directory, not a scraper. Every listing on the site has been through one of the verification paths below, and every listing is open for owners to claim and update at any time.

Community-submitted

Someone — usually a customer, the owner, or a community member — submits the business through our free submission form. We check the business is real (NZ-registered, contactable, Filipino-owned or Filipino-run) before publishing. Most listings fall into this category.

Phone-verified

We've called the business on the listed number and confirmed the listing details. Phone-verified listings carry a 📞 badge.

Owner-claimed

The business owner has claimed the listing through their BisDak account. Claimed listings carry a ✓ badge and unlock owner-only features: respond to reviews, update contact details, post jobs, and add photos. To claim your business, sign in on the listing page and click “Claim this listing”.

What we won't do

We don't publish listings for businesses that are not genuinely Filipino-owned or Filipino-run. We don't accept paid placement in exchange for verification badges. We don't share phone numbers or email addresses with third parties.

Found a listing that should be removed or updated? Email hello@bisdak.co.nz and we'll review it within a day or two.
