Quality standards

Editorial policy

The standards every guide, city page and service page on this site must meet before it is published — and after.

Last updated: October 13, 2026
Standards

What we require of our own content

  • ✓Human review. Every page is written or substantively reviewed by a member of our local SEO team before publication. We do not publish unreviewed generated text.
  • ✓Sourced claims. Statements about how Google works cite Google's own documentation. Statistics name their source. Estimates are labelled as estimates.
  • ✓No manufactured proof. No invented testimonials, case studies, review counts or ranking statistics — anywhere on this site, including this page.
  • ✓Unique local content. City pages carry genuinely local information, not swapped names. Pages that cannot be made useful are not published.
  • ✓Authorship. Guides carry a byline naming the responsible team and a publication or update date.
  • ✓Regular review. Guides and city pages are re-checked at least twice a year against current Google guidelines and updated where needed.

Corrections

If we publish something wrong — a changed Google policy, an outdated screenshot, a factual error — we correct it and note the update date on the page. Spotted an error? Tell us via the contact page and we will fix it.

Advertising vs. advice

Guides on this site teach; they do not hard-sell. Where a guide mentions our services, it is clearly a service mention, not disguised editorial. We do not accept paid placement in guides.

In practice

How a page gets published

1

Draft from real questions

Topics come from questions business owners actually ask us — on calls, in audits and in search data.

2

Fact-check

Claims are checked against Google's documentation and our own account experience before they ship.

3

Review & publish

A second team member reviews for accuracy, clarity and compliance with this policy. Then it goes live with a byline and date.

Customer accounts and diagnostic guidance

The Michael R., David S., Jessica M. and Robert L. excerpts were supplied by the website owner and shortened for readability. Outcomes are customer-reported; they are not independently audited case-study measurements. We do not add unknown dates, business names, locations or ratings. General problem-guide scenarios are labelled and are not attributed to invented customers.

The problem guides were prepared with AI assistance and checked against linked Google Business Profile documentation for platform rules. They explain a proposed diagnostic approach rather than claim a named expert review or personal experience of every case. Business-specific recommendations depend on actual records and an agreed scope. Publisher: GMB Management USA. Updated 14 October 2026.
