How this site is written and sourced

What these pages are for

Every page on this site exists to answer one question accurately, including the questions whose honest answer costs us the sale. Several pages say plainly that you should do the job yourself, or that the thing you want cannot be bought from anyone.

That is not modesty. We sell assessments of whether other people are telling you the truth about reviews, badges and Wikipedia. A site that overstates its own capabilities has no standing to do that.

Where the figures come from

Every statistic is either attributed to a named published source with a link, or computed live from our own outlet directory. Nothing is estimated, rounded up, or carried over from an older version of a page.

Where we do not have a number, the page says so. Our own success rates are the clearest example: we will publish them with the sample size stated when we have enough closed cases for the figure to mean something, and until then the section on the statistics page stays empty rather than being filled with something flattering.

Platform policies are described from the platform’s own published documentation, not from what competitors say about it.

How often pages are reviewed

Every page carries a visible last-reviewed date, and that date is the same one in the structured data. It changes when the page is actually re-checked, not when the site is redeployed.

Pages are reviewed quarterly as a minimum, and immediately when a platform changes a policy we describe. Platform rules in this area move constantly, and a page confidently describing a process that was retired eight months ago is worse than no page.

AI assistance

Parts of this site are drafted with AI assistance. Every factual claim, figure and policy description is checked against a primary source before publication, and a human is accountable for what is published.

We mention this because we ask other people to disclose paid editing and sponsored placement, and the same principle applies to us.

What we will not publish

Invented statistics, including our own success rates before we can evidence them.

Claims that a guaranteed outcome is available where it is not: verification badges, Wikipedia articles, and the removal of honest reviews are all decided by someone other than us, and every page saying so says it in the same words.

Competitor comparisons that misrepresent what a competitor does. Where we describe this market’s weaknesses, we describe practices rather than naming companies as bad actors.

Testimonials or case studies we cannot evidence.

Corrections

If something here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it and change the review date. That applies to platform policy we have described incorrectly, figures we have mis-stated, and processes that have changed since we last checked.

Corrections are made in place rather than quietly deleted, and a page whose substance changes gets a new review date so anyone citing it can see it moved.

Paid relationships

Outlet prices in the media directory are what we charge. Where we act as a paid editor on Wikipedia, that relationship is disclosed publicly on the account and the article talk page, as Wikipedia’s terms of use require — every time, without exception.

This site carries no sponsored content and no affiliate links. The external links on our statistics and cost pages are sources, marked nofollow, and nobody pays to appear there.
