Commercial standards

Visibility without
losing trust.

01

Paid work is identified

Promotional cards use an Advertising label. Paid articles use a Sponsored story label. The relationship should be obvious before someone clicks.

02

Recommendations are not for sale

Payment does not buy a ranking, verified status or editorial recommendation. Basic corrections and useful directory inclusion remain available without payment.

03

Claims need support

Advertisers are responsible for accurate prices, dates, availability and legal claims. Discover Penela may request a current public source before publication.

04

People of Penela stays editorial

Community profiles are selected for their public interest. A paid founder or business profile belongs in the separately labelled sponsored-story format.
