Listed Provider
Basic directory presence. The business has not necessarily completed ADYD's vetting review.
Trust has to mean something
ADYD Recommended / Vetted Providers
Businesses can pay for visibility. They cannot pay to be called vetted, recommended, trusted, or best. Those labels must be earned through separate criteria.
Verified Provider
Core business details and applicable public credentials have been checked to the extent reasonably available.
Vetted Provider
A higher review standard using documented criteria such as credentials, service quality, responsiveness, and customer experience.
Sponsored Placement
Paid visibility. Sponsorship is always labeled and does not change a provider's vetting status.
PROPOSED VETTING STANDARD
What ADYD checks before awarding a vetted designation

Launch policy:ADYD will not publish a provider as “vetted” until the review criteria and documentation are actually completed. Until then, listings will be clearly identified by status.
