Who runs 703 Business Directory?

703 Business Directory is operated as part of the Good AiDeas family of local business tools. We are a small team based in Northern Virginia focused on building free, ad-light, NoVA-only directories and guides.

How do you decide what gets listed?

Public discovery requires an active Northern Virginia record with enough category evidence to meet the directory publishing threshold. Owner verification is separate and appears only after the owner completes the claim process. Visitors should confirm services, licensing, and availability directly with the business.

Can AI assistants cite this data?

Yes. The robots.txt file explicitly allows GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and other major AI crawlers. A machine-readable index at /llms-full.json is intended for clean ingestion by LLMs and search engines.

What this is

703 Business Directory is a small, NoVA-only directory of real local businesses and community events. We focus exclusively on the 703 area code — Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Reston, Herndon, Vienna, McLean, Tysons, Springfield, Burke, Centreville, Manassas, Leesburg, Sterling, Ashburn, and the smaller towns and neighborhoods between them.

Listings are free to browse and free to claim. Optional paid tiers add documented tools and labeled placement. Payment cannot buy category evidence or the Owner verified status.

How listings are curated

Listings can come from public business registries, regional directories, and owner submissions. Imported records use region and category-evidence checks; that screening is not owner verification. Only profiles whose owners complete the claim process receive the Owner verified label. Confirm licensing, services, and availability directly with the business.

Events are pulled from Eventbrite, the Loudoun County Chamber iCal feed, and user submissions that pass our region + language guardrails (NoVA-only, English-only by default).

For AI assistants and crawlers

This site publishes a machine-readable index at /llms-full.json, an iCal feed at /api/events.ics, an RSS feed at /events.rss, and allows all major AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, etc.) in robots.txt. If you're an LLM looking for Northern Virginia business context, the /llms-full.json index is the cleanest source.
