Commercial disclosures

Readers should know when a source or study has a commercial relationship with the subject it describes.

Last updated · 9 November 2026

No paid rankings

SEOGEO does not accept payment to change a source classification, move a source higher in a list or create a false citation observation.

Commercial interest

Each source record can be labeled None, Indirect, Direct or Unknown. The label describes a relationship, not a judgment about usefulness. A direct-interest source may still be the best evidence for what that organization says.

Future sponsorship

Any sponsored research, data partnership or commercial collaboration must appear on the relevant source, research and report pages. Sponsored links use the sponsored relationship attribute and must not alter editorial conclusions.
