How we verify
Main Street Map is for the people, by the people. You should be able to trust every business you find here, so we hold each one to our own strict standard.
Our three rules
A business is listed only if it passes all three:
American owned
The company is owned by Americans. Not a foreign parent company, and not a brand owned by an overseas group.
Made in the USA
The company says its products are made in the USA. We do not require proof that every single part is domestic. “Assembled in the USA” from imported or global parts does not count.
Designed in the USA
The products are designed here, by the company’s own people.
What we do for every listing
We read the public record
We look at what the company says about itself on its own website, and other public sources, about who owns it and where its products are made and designed.
We link the proof
Every business page has a Verified sources box with links to the pages we used, and the date we last checked.
A person reviews it
Nothing appears on the map until someone on our team has reviewed it. New submissions wait for review.
Anyone can flag it
If something looks wrong, use Report a problem with this listing on the business page. We review every report and remove listings that no longer pass.
Where things stand today
We list 389 businesses in 50 states. That is a small start, and we would rather grow slowly than list a business we are not sure about.
