About Mohawk Valley Hub
A structured local information system for Oneida and Herkimer Counties, NY. Built on verified government data and public sources.
Our Mission
Provide trustworthy, sourced, and transparent local business information. Every fact is traceable to an authoritative source. No invented content, no doorway pages, no link schemes.
Core Principle
Data quality over content volume. We publish what can be verified. 500 verified listings are more valuable than 5,000 unverified claims.
What We Cover
Geographic Focus
Oneida and Herkimer Counties, with priority coverage for Utica, Rome, New Hartford, Whitesboro, Yorkville, Herkimer, and surrounding municipalities.

How We Build This
Mohawk Valley Hub uses a knowledge-graph approach to local information. Every business listing, event, and fact is connected to its source. When data changes, we track the provenance of that change.
Our database schema includes full provenance tracking for every field. Each piece of information stores its source URL, confidence level, verification status, and timestamps for when it was discovered and last verified.
What This Means for You
When you see a business on Mohawk Valley Hub, you can trust that it exists and that the information came from an official record. We never invent facts or use unverified sources.
