# How Service Pros DFW works

1. Choose a service category and read its planning guide.
2. Filter by reported DFW service area.
3. Read the research, claimed, verified and sponsored status carefully.
4. Contact a shortlist with the same job facts.
5. Independently confirm qualifications, scope, permits, insurance and written pricing.

Businesses may claim listings, but proposed public changes require administrator approval. Verification and paid placement remain separate.
