No stars, just names
How neighbor endorsements work
An endorsement is a neighbor saying "I'd send my friend here," with their first name, last initial and town attached. No stars and no anonymous reviews.
1
Find a business you've used
Search or browse to the business and press Endorse. Your plumber, your kid's piano teacher, the shop that fixed your brakes right the first time.
2
Confirm by email
We email you a one-time link. Clicking it shows you're a real person with a real inbox, and one email address can only endorse a business once.
3
Add your name and town
First name, last initial, and whether you live in Apex, Cary or Holly Springs. Add a line about what they did if you like. It shows on the listing within a few minutes.
House rules
What it takes to be listed
Three rules, applied to every business in the guide.
Owned here
The owner runs the business from Apex, Cary or Holly Springs and makes the decisions locally. National chains and franchise locations stay off the list, even the good ones.
Endorsed, not rated
There are no stars to game. A neighbor either puts their name behind a business or doesn't, and every endorsement is confirmed by email before it posts.
Featured is labeled
Featured listings get a longer profile and the top spot in their category. They're always marked, and featured status never comes with endorsements.
