Resolve the branch
A name is not enough. Address, operator surface, containing property and branch identity must agree.
// HOW FACTS BECOME PAGES
METHOD
A claim-level workflow for branch identity, source quality, expiry, conflict, route state and media rights.
// THE DECISION CHAIN
IDENTITY BEFORE DETAIL
Class the source
Operator and authority sources can establish hard facts; directories and snippets are discovery leads only.
Date the claim
Hours, prices, schedules and status expire faster than address or category. Old facts become dated history or unknown.
Keep conflicts open
Conflicting hours, prices, coordinates or identities are never averaged into a convenient answer.
Decide the route
INDEX, NOINDEX, HOLD, REDIRECT and GONE are explicit route decisions with reasons—not scattered meta-tag guesses.
Clear the media
Operator photos, maps, menus and social images stay out unless a reusable license is recorded.
