Editorial policy
The line between coverage and advertising stays clear.
Local Business Factory operates the Magazine and Fort List relationships under an editorial and advertising firewall. That separation applies to every public report and placement.
Our published rules
- Coverage is never for sale.
- Ads are labeled as ads.
- Money buys placements and labeled sponsorship, never coverage, a hot-list slot, or a ranking.
- Audit reports cite the sources behind their findings.
- A business can dispute an audit finding through the contact route.
