Editorial firewall

The sponsored position is commercial. The directory remains independent.

Category eligibility comes from supported services and evidence before payment. Paid cards sit outside organic lists, use a visible Sponsored label, and clearly identify outbound links as paid.

The partnership does not buy

  • Directory or category eligibility
  • A higher organic position or favorable verdict
  • Unsupported profile claims
  • Guaranteed leads, sales, rankings, backlinks, or citations

Frequently asked questions

Does payment affect organic directory order?

No. The Lead Partner card sits in a separate Sponsored module. Organic comparisons remain independently eligible and ordered without partner payment.

What if the category already has a lead partner?

You can join that category's waitlist. We confirm current registry availability before approval or payment and do not sell a second lead position on the same page.

What is measured in the monthly report?

The report separates anonymous placement impressions, sponsored-link clicks, profile visits, confirmed matching requests, human-qualified requests, provider-accepted introductions, and delivered introductions. Missing data is marked unavailable, not zero.

Are leads, rankings, or citations guaranteed?

No. The subscription covers the disclosed placement, profile work, and reporting. It does not guarantee leads, sales, search rankings, backlinks, or AI citations.
