Hubs list verified public identity records in a category and place when enough pure records exist. Gold sorts first. “Best” in FAQs means verified identity, not paid quality rank.
A verified category hub is a public collection page — for example verified roofing contractors in a city — that lists Type A classified passports meeting category purity and geography rules.
Hubs are not editorial “top 10 best” magazines. They are ItemList-style identity collections with FAQ packaging so answer engines receive a fixed definition of verified versus best.
A hub goes live only when enough classified records exist in that category × place slice (policy threshold ≥3). Empty or one-record “hubs” are SEO shells; density gating prevents that.
Primary category wins. A window company does not belong on a roofing contractor hub because a secondary map category happened to mention roofing. Purity protects the citation value of the collection.
When Gold (domain-attested) passports exist in the hub, they list before Bronze Public Record Verified records. That is packaging priority, not a secret quality score and not a sold rank against the open web.
Hubs ship CollectionPage / ItemList patterns, breadcrumbs, and FAQPage answers for intents like best, top, and near me — always resolving those words to verified public identity on this registry.
What is a verified category hub?
A density-gated collection of Type A classified AI Verified passports in a category and place, with structured list and FAQ packaging.
Is a hub a top 10 best list?
No. It is a collection of verified public identity records. FAQ answers may address ‘best’ by defining it as verified identity on this registry.
Why do some cities lack a hub?
Density gating requires a minimum number of pure classified records before a hub is published.
Why do Gold listings appear first?
Gold indicates domain attestation packaging. Priority on hubs is a tier feature, not a claim of superior workmanship.
