One handshake. One seat. 429 of 435 filled.
6 seats remain in the 435 Alliance. Every seat takes a digital handshake — the structured identity link between a business’s site and its alliance profile. Customers see a vetted local. AI search engines see a clean entity. Other businesses without a handshake stay invisible to the alliance.
The handshake is light and one-time. Add a small visible badge on your site that links back to your alliance profile. Confirm your verified identity (legal name, address, phone, hours, ownership) inside the alliance register. Sign the source link both ways so customers and search engines can read it cleanly.
The handshake is what closes the loop. A listed profile without a handshake stays in editorial-only mode. A handshake-completed seat is a public, verified entry — and it locks in your spot before the register fills.
Once 435 seats are taken, no one else gets in until a seat opens.
