What “trending” means here

A visible signal, not a secret score

01

New to the SBA directory

Recently added records surface first. This says the record is new—not that the investment is better.

02

Recently recertified

Recertification dates come straight from the weekly SBA workbook and are shown with their source date.

03

Reader interest, labeled separately

First-party interest can be added once traffic is meaningful. Paid placement will never masquerade as a trend.
