  <h1 class="display-sm">A directory for the Boulevard.</h1>
  <p class="lede">Ventura Claw is a directory and lead-routing service for unregulated small businesses on Ventura Blvd, from Sherman Oaks through Woodland Hills. Restaurants, salons, retail, fitness, pet services, auto detail, cleaning, and creative pros — every business worth finding, on one map.</p>

  <h2>How matching works</h2>
  <p>Search by category, neighborhood, or name. Click into any profile to see the business's contact info or send them a message directly. Ventura Claw forwards your message to the business; their reply lands in your inbox without anyone in between.</p>

  <h2>What we don't list</h2>
  <p>State-licensed professionals are intentionally excluded — no doctors, lawyers, dentists, financial advisors, real-estate agents, insurance agents, or licensed contractors. Those professions have their own referral and fee-splitting rules; we list businesses where the work is done by the business, not by a regulated individual.</p>

  <h2>Coverage</h2>
  <p>Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Encino, Tarzana, Woodland Hills — the Ventura Blvd corridor. We're starting with hand-curated listings of businesses we know are open and serving locals.</p>
