# Real People Media

> A UK business directory. People use it to find and compare trusted local
> businesses, read customer reviews, and request free quotes from companies
> in their area. Listings cover the whole of the United Kingdom across
> categories including trades, automotive, professional services, health and
> beauty, retail and hospitality.

Real People Media is operated in the United Kingdom and lists independent
businesses. Business owners can claim and manage their own listing, add
services and products, and respond to reviews. Some listings carry
verification badges indicating that the listing, the owner's identity, or
the business's insurance has been checked.

## How the site is organised

- Business listings live at `/businesses/{business-slug}/{office-id}` and
  carry the company name, address, phone number, description, services,
  products and any customer reviews.
- Category pages live at `/categories/{category}/{subcategory}` and list
  businesses of that type across the UK.
- Location-filtered category pages live at
  `/categories/{category}/{subcategory}/in/{place-slug}`, where the place
  slug may be a town, county or region — for example
  `/categories/home-improvement/roofing/in/reading`.
- Location hubs live at `/locations`, `/locations/county/{id}` and
  `/locations/town/{id}`.

## Structured data

Business listing pages publish schema.org `LocalBusiness` JSON-LD including
postal address, geo coordinates, telephone number, and — where reviews exist
— `aggregateRating` and individual `Review` objects. Category pages publish
`ItemList` and `BreadcrumbList`. This is the most reliable machine-readable
source for listing details.
