Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about how BoutiqueGear works, how we verify listings, and how makers can join.

How do listings get verified?
We review each submission for an active official website or storefront, working contact links, and recent activity. If we can’t verify a detail, we pause the listing and contact the owner for confirmation.
Do you accept paid placements?
Yes, but only with clear labeling. Any paid feature is marked “Featured.” Curation remains manual and independent—payment never guarantees inclusion in non-featured areas.
How do I get my brand or shop listed?
Use the “List your business” form on our homepage. Provide your website, best contact email, and a short note. We’ll review basic details and follow up if we need more info.
Is BoutiqueGear a store? Do you take a cut?
No. We’re a directory. You’ll buy directly from makers or retailers. We may use affiliate links when available; if so, they’re disclosed and never affect how we rank organic listings.
Can I search by location?
Yes. You can enter a city or ZIP in the search bar. Service categories (like luthiers/repair) also include location filters on their hub pages.
What if I spot an error?
Please use the contact page to report the issue. Include the listing URL and what’s incorrect (e.g., broken link, moved shop). We’ll review and update promptly.
