Advertising and sponsorship policy
Today: no sponsors, no paid listings, no affiliate fees. Here are the rules that would apply if that changes.
Current status
No company has paid to appear on this site, and no sponsorship, partnership or referral agreement exists. Every listing is editorial and appears in alphabetical order.
If paid placement is ever offered
- Every paid placement will carry a visible “Sponsored” label wherever it appears, plus a disclosure above any list that contains one.
- Paid placements will be shown separately from editorial listings and guides, never mixed in as if they were editorial picks.
- Payment will never change an evidence label, license status or guide content.
- Fees will be flat advertising fees. We will not charge per lead, per call or per job, and we will not sell anyone's contact details.
- Paid links will carry the “sponsored” link attribute so search engines can tell them apart.
These rules follow the FTC's guidance that paid relationships must be disclosed clearly and close to the content they affect.
