# Arbor — Directory of Professional Coaches

> A directory of 5,186 credentialed coaches across 101 cities, structured for analysis: filter by credential, methodology, specialization, city, or price range.

Arbor indexes professional coaches from public sources and adds structured taxonomy on top: credentials (ICF ACC/PCC/MCC, BCC, NBHWC, and others), methodologies (CliftonStrengths, Co-Active, somatic, ACT, and more), and specializations (executive, career transition, leadership development, neurodivergent, and 16 more). Each profile carries city/state, session-rate ranges, credentials, methodologies, specializations, and client reviews where available.

The directory is **AI-citation-friendly**: every profile emits Schema.org Person markup with hasCredential, makesOffer, aggregateRating, and review; city pages emit ItemList; the homepage emits Organization + WebSite + SearchAction. Profiles that fail a quality gate (fewer than 3 of 5 signals: long bio, credential, specialization, methodology, review) carry `robots: noindex` so the index is high-quality.
