This page explains in one place how Puerto Rico Experts works: what we check, what we do not check, how we earn money and how to correct us. We are an independent informational directory run from Caguas, PR. We are not a law firm, a CPA firm, a physician referral service or a government agency, and we do not provide legal, tax, financial or medical advice.
How we verify
The directory currently has 277 providers. On every listing we check the company's official website (name, services and, when shown, phone and address) or, for doctors without a website of their own, the hospital, medical-society or health-system directory cited on the listing. Each listing shows the date of its last check and a link to the source, and we re-check it at least every 90 days. Category detail is on About us.
What “Verified” means and what it does not
There are three distinct levels, and the listing says which one applied:
- “Information checked against official website” (or the directory the listing names): the business exists and its contact details match its official source on the date shown.
- “License checked with the regulator”: in addition, we cross-checked the business against an official public registry and the listing shows what we found. We only do this in specific regulated categories: mortgage lenders (8 of 8), investment advisers (4 of 4), title agencies (3 of 7), property managers (1 of 4) and doctors (129 of 129).
- No license badge: in other categories we do not audit professional licenses. Confirm the license in the official registry (table below) and with the provider.
“Verified” does not mean that we recommend the provider, or guarantee the quality of its work or care, its prices, availability, insurance policies, certifications or accepted health plans, or that it has no complaints or sanctions. A license that was active on the date of the check can change afterwards. Nor is it an endorsement by the government or any professional association.
Reviews
Reviews are the opinions of the people who write them, not of Puerto Rico Experts. Moderation is 100% manual: a person reads every review and nothing is published automatically. Good and bad reviews are judged by the same criteria, we do not import reviews from other sites, and we show an average and count only when there are real approved reviews. Businesses with a claimed listing may reply publicly, and the reply is also reviewed before publication. Full rules, what we do not publish and how to report a review: Review policy.
Advertising: Verified, Claimed and Sponsored
These are three different things, and none can be bought with another:
- Verified: the result of our check (above). It is not sold and does not depend on a paid plan.
- Claimed listing: the business showed that it owns the listing and can correct its details, request the verified badge and reply to reviews. Claiming is free.
- Sponsored: a paid advertisement (Plan Local or Plan Isla) shown with the “Sponsored” label. It buys visibility; it does not buy verification, reviews or ratings. Pro and Premium plans are labeled “Paid plan”. Full disclosure: Disclosure.
Claiming a listing
It is free, it lets you correct your details, and it is not an endorsement by Puerto Rico Experts and does not buy verification. We send a code to an email on your website's domain or, if you do not have one, use manual verification with your corporate registry number or a document. A person reviews every change before it is published. To start: Claim my listing.
Corrections
If a detail is wrong, changed or the business closed, tell us on Corrections, through the contact form or at hola@puertoricoexperts.com. We fix it within a few days.
Privacy and security
What data we keep, why and how to exercise your rights: Privacy Policy. In short: reviewers' emails are not published; payment card details are entered at Stripe and never reach our servers; claim codes and sign-in tokens are stored only as hashes; and the site is served over HTTPS. To report a security issue write to hola@puertoricoexperts.com.
Official sources to verify for yourself
These are the official registries and portals where you can check a professional or business. We use them only where the last column says “Yes”; for the rest, they are where you should go. Links checked on 2026-10-25; if one changes, tell us.
An official registry shows the status on the date of the query. Puerto Rico Experts is not affiliated with these entities.
