Overview

Our users input the address of their customers. We want to confirm these location addresses
actually belong to the companies in question. We need to verify the location address actually exists
by searching for it in Google, and using the results to confirm the location is valid.

We are also looking to categorize these companies by the type of work and materials they provide.
Generally all of the companies you’re judging will be made up of either supply companies or
equipment lessors that have sub-types we’ve listed out as options for each company. Use the
company name, web sources, and other signals to help determine the right type of company.

Steps
1. Click the “Search Company” button in order to google the [Company Name] + [Location
Address]

2. Quickly scan results to judge whether this address is really associated with this exact
company
1. Acceptable sources of verification:
1. Official website
2. Google Business results (right hand of search page)
3. Official company Facebook page
4. Official company LinkedIn page
5. BuildZoom
6. Bluebook
7. OpenCorporates
8. Manta
9. D&B (Dunn & Bradstreet)
10. Buzzfile
3. If the Supplier Type is already listed (i.e. is not null), select that same type in the list options
and move on. If the Supplier Type = null, use your best judgment from the results, company
name, and/or the company’s website to determine which option best fits which type of
supplier the company is. If you unsure, you can leave this blank.

Rules/Tips
 If company is an equipment lessor (rental company), you should default to filling its type as
"Equipment."
 Only choose one category type from the list provided that best fits the company.
  If you are unable to confidently find that a company fits into one of the supplier type
categories, please leave blank.
 P.O. Boxes are technically considered locations for our purposes and can be marked yes as
long as it's verified
 If the address we searched lacks a suite or unit #, but the address found has one, it's still
okay to mark yes as verified
 If the "street number" is missing, you can disqualify the Location and mark it as 'no.'
 If you select 'No' on question one, you can skip question 2
