# What a listing tells you

Lesson 1 of [Read a Wellness Room Builder Listing](https://privatewellnessrooms.fyi/academy/read-a-wellness-room-builder-listing.md), 15 minutes.

A listing is a short profile of one business. It gives a name, a place, a category and contact details. It may show a website and opening hours.

## Where the data comes from

The site builds listings from public place data (Overture Maps) and from each business's own website. The site fetched this data on 2026-10-29. Details can change after that date. Treat each field as what the place data or the business reported.

## What is often empty

Project prices, brands, services and service area stay empty until a business claims its listing. An empty field does not mean the business lacks the service. It means the site has no confirmed data. Ask the business.

## What to do

1. Read the category. Is the business a builder, a dealer or a designer?
2. Check the place. If the listing does not give a service area, ask.
3. Open the business's own website. Compare it with the listing and note any difference.
4. Ask several firms for a written quote for the same brief.

A listing is a starting point. It is not a recommendation.
