# AI Service Directory Website: Real Listings and Search

A service directory is useful only while its listings are accurate and its search helps people choose. Start with a small authorized dataset, define update responsibility and build real search and empty states. Do not ask AI to fabricate local businesses or fill the page with invented reviews.

## Your brief

1. Provide authorized listing fields and the basis for publishing them. Prefer business contact details supplied for publication and avoid unnecessary personal information.

   ____________________

2. Define categories, service areas, search filters and a record identifier. Include examples of missing fields, duplicate listings and a search with no matches.

3. Specify submission review, correction requests and update ownership. If reviews are included, define a genuine moderation process rather than generating positive ratings.

   ____________________

## Prompt

Build a service directory prototype from [authorized listings]. Include categories, search, filters, clear no-results state and listing detail pages. Do not invent businesses, ratings or contact details. Mark unverified fields honestly. Describe data storage, correction and moderation needs, and distinguish a static sample from a working submission system. Require review before public launch.

## Illustrative example

Illustrative dataset contains five authorized repair-service listings. One lacks opening hours, which remain unspecified. A search outside the coverage area returns a useful no-results message instead of invented providers. New submissions enter review; a success message is shown only when the configured storage actually receives the record.

## Acceptance checks

- [ ] Are listings, contact fields and verification labels accurate and authorized for publication?
- [ ] Do search, filters, no-results behavior and correction paths work with actual data?
- [ ] Are sample data, live submissions and genuine reviews clearly distinguished?

Do not make a local directory look authoritative by inventing star ratings or ‘verified’ badges. Define what verification means, retain evidence and keep unverified records labeled or unpublished.
