The directory map shows matching businesses beside the map on desktop and in a list on phones.
Community Marketplace brings together classifieds, rentals, jobs, and notices.
PCBO Business gives owners and agencies a separate workspace where they can switch between profiles they are authorized to manage.

Version 1.1.0

Notes dated November 3, 2026

Invited business owners can verify their account and go straight to editing the business profile they were invited to manage.
New business listings can start with manual entry or a public-source lookup. Suggested details and sources are available for review before they fill the form.
Directory members can set a profile picture, choose a unique @handle, and see when they joined in the account menu.
Verified members can recommend a business. PCBO gathers public details for staff review when a business is missing, and existing profiles show an anonymous recommendation count.
Community listings and jobs are tied to the account that posted them. Linking a business profile is optional, and access to linked posts follows the business’s current management permissions.
The community calendar brings together PCBO events, important dates, member and business events, and birthdays members choose to share.

Staff can link a verified Directory account to their existing Admin account and use one sign-in to manage both.
Community recommendations appear in the business review queue with the supporting sources when research finds a match.
