One-paragraph fact sheet
ProFix Directory (profixdirectory.com) is a license-verified home-services directory covering the Toledo and Findlay metropolitan areas of Northwest Ohio. 536 verified pros across 8 trades — plumbing, HVAC, electrical, appliance repair, gas, concrete, roofing, and tree service. 471 pros are OCILB or trade-license verified; 65 are curated directory listings with full NAP (name/address/phone) accuracy. Bilingual English + Spanish content, 1,000+ static pages, and an MCP server (profixdirectory.com/api/mcp) so AI agents (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Perplexity) can query the directory natively. Built per the AI-native playbook: structured data first, agents second, humans for taste and judgment.
