Editorial Methodology

How ReviewMarketplace.com defines scope, uses primary references, separates research from testing, and avoids fabricated ratings.

1. Define the scope

Every guide starts with a decision or workflow, not a promised outcome. The page should identify the subject and distinguish the product, seller, platform, or software configuration being discussed. Closely related search terms are grouped when they raise the same substantive question.

2. Separate evidence from interpretation

Primary references support specific policy or technical statements. The practical checklists are editorial recommendations for evaluating the subject. Examples are hypothetical unless explicitly identified otherwise. A useful conclusion describes what the evidence supports and preserves meaningful unknowns.

Documentation research is not presented as hands-on testing. The current library explains evaluation methods; it does not claim original product benchmarks, restaurant visits, customer surveys, or verified owner ratings. Where a future assessment includes testing, its configuration, conditions, method, and limitations should be visible.

3. Use the right source for the claim

Platform rules are checked against the platform’s own published guidance. U.S. review-law explanations refer to the Federal Trade Commission and identify their jurisdictional scope. Technical SEO and AI evaluation guidance uses primary documentation. A source link supports the statement it is attached to; it is not an endorsement of every product or service offered by that organization.

Each long-form field note contains one editorial outbound reference. Internal links connect related guides so readers can follow a decision without losing the platform or use-case context.

4. Keep ratings honest

No fictional testimonials, invented star averages, or unsupported aggregate ratings appear on this site. A decorative star is a brand element, not a customer score. Structured data describes the actual page as a guide, article, or collection rather than adding review ratings that the visible evidence cannot support.

5. Evaluate automation by its behavior

Analysis of genuine feedback is different from writing fictional customer experiences. Software evaluation should identify the source records, authorized access, proposed output, human approval, and recovery path. An automated draft is not proof that the underlying claim is true or that an action is authorized.

6. Correct the record

Useful corrections identify the page, the specific statement, and a primary source or reproducible observation. A disagreement about taste is not automatically a factual error. Send a correction to [email protected] without including private customer records, passwords, or account credentials.

Publication dates are displayed consistently across article pages, listings, and feeds. Modification labels should reflect substantive changes, not automatic freshness claims. Platform policies and product configurations can change, so consult the linked live reference when acting on a guide.
