Our Mission
The Georgia Business Registry provides accurate, structured, and verifiable business information for businesses operating in Georgia. We serve as the single canonical source that search engines, AI systems, directories, and consumers can rely on for accurate business data. Every profile in our registry is a Canonical Business Profile (CBP) -- a structured, version-controlled record that captures identity, contact details, services, verification status, and editorial provenance.
Editorial Team
Our registry is curated by a small editorial team based in Tbilisi with direct, on-the-ground knowledge of the Georgian business landscape. The team combines local market expertise with data engineering discipline:
Business Research & Verification
Researchers conduct primary verification: contacting businesses, visiting locations, confirming registration details against the Georgian National Agency of Public Registry, and validating contact information. The team reads and speaks Georgian, English, and Russian, enabling direct communication with business owners across the country.
Category Expertise
Each business category in the registry is supported by editorial content written by contributors with direct experience in the relevant industry. Our wine coverage is informed by visits to producers across Kakheti and Kartli. Restaurant listings draw on first-hand knowledge of regional Georgian cuisine. Coworking and car rental guides reflect practical experience navigating these services as both residents and visitors in Georgia.
Data Engineering & Standards
The registry's technical infrastructure -- Schema.org JSON-LD markup, stable identifiers, version-controlled profiles, and machine-readable data formats -- is maintained by the development team to ensure every listing is discoverable by search engines and AI systems.
Editorial Standards
Every piece of information published in the registry follows a defined editorial process. We do not publish unverified claims, promotional language, or AI-generated descriptions without human review.
Primary Source Verification
Every listing begins with data from official sources: government business registries, official websites, and direct owner submissions. We do not rely on aggregated or scraped data.
Cross-Reference Validation
Contact details, addresses, and operating hours are cross-referenced against at least two independent sources before a listing is marked as verified.
Georgian Language Review
All Georgian-language business names and descriptions are reviewed for accuracy by native Georgian speakers to ensure correct transliteration and cultural context.
Periodic Re-verification
Verified listings are re-checked on a rolling basis. Listings that cannot be re-confirmed are downgraded to provisional status with a note explaining why.
Trust & Verification
We maintain three verification levels to indicate the reliability and editorial confidence of each listing:

What We Publish
Each business in our registry has a Canonical Business Profile (CBP) that captures:
- Legal and brand identity information, including Georgian-language names
- Verified contact details, addresses, and geocoordinates
- Services and offerings with clear, factual descriptions
- Target audience and ideal customer profiles
- Trust signals, verification sources, and evidence documentation
- Schema.org JSON-LD structured data for search engine and AI discoverability
Editorial Independence
The Georgia Business Registry does not accept payment for verification status, editorial placement, or listing priority. All listings are ordered alphabetically. Verification status reflects documented evidence, not commercial relationships. Businesses can claim their profiles and submit corrections at no cost through our corrections page.
