In its own words
There are more than 60,000 hotlines listed on our site.
Quoted from the page itself rather than paraphrased, so the reader can see the company's voice and not ours.
What is not finished
The part a competitor would find anyway.
The site names a different operating nonprofit from the one this group's other pages name, and its footer is dated 2019 with a COVID-19 menu still in the navigation. The listing count is asserted rather than shown.
