How Listings Work
Everything you need to know about how shops appear on smallengine.directory — for consumers and shop owners alike.
Where our data comes from
We compile listings from publicly available sources, including Google Maps, business registries, and manufacturer dealer locators. Our goal is to build the most complete and accurate directory of small engine repair shops in the United States.
Each listing includes the shop's name, address, phone number, hours, Google rating, and — where available — the brands and equipment types they service.
Verification
Google ratings and review counts are sourced from Google Maps and reflect real customer reviews. The "Google reviews verified" badge on a listing means we have confirmed the rating data against the Google Maps record for that business.
Listings marked with a "Last verified" date have been manually reviewed to confirm the business is still operating at that address.
Listing order
Shops are not ranked by payment. On city pages, listings are ordered by Google rating (highest first), with ties broken by review count. This means the most community-validated shops appear at the top.
We do not accept payment for higher placement in search results or category pages. See our affiliate disclosure for full details on how we make money.
Claiming your listing
If you own a shop that appears on this directory, you can claim your listing to:
- Update your hours, phone number, and address
- Add photos of your shop
- List the brands and equipment types you service
- Respond to customer questions
Removing a listing
If your business has closed or you want your listing removed, please use the "Report outdated information" link on your listing page or contact us directly. We process removal requests within a few business days.
Reporting errors
Hours change, businesses move, and phone numbers get recycled. If you spot outdated information on any listing, click the "Report outdated information" link at the bottom of that shop's page. We review all reports and update listings as quickly as possible.
Adding a missing shop
Know a shop that should be listed but isn't? Send us the details and we'll review it for inclusion. We add new listings on a rolling basis as we verify their information.
