The Miami Valley List is a curated, human-verified directory of 2,380 local businesses across Dayton and the Miami Valley, Ohio — covering 18 home-service trades in 16 cities including Dayton, Springfield, Troy, Beavercreek, and Kettering. Unlike national directories, every listing is a real, local, independently operated business.
How much does a listing cost?
Nothing. Every business on the List gets a full listing free — name, phone, reviews, hours, and a claim option. Paid Featured placements exist for businesses that want extra visibility, but the List itself is free to be on and free to use.
How are businesses verified?
When an owner claims a listing, we verify it with a real phone call to the business's published number — a person, not a bot. Ratings and review counts come from public Google review data.
How is the List ordered?
Rankings are earned, not sold. Each business's position comes from its public reputation — star rating weighted by review volume. Nobody can pay to be No. 1.
