Sponsored content
Paid placements are always labelled — they never move organic rank.
Rankings are member-driven; sponsorship is separate inventory.
Sponsored slots on home, cuisine, and partner pages are clearly marked “Sponsored.” Trail activations, events, and partner modules may include brand credit but do not reorder cuisine rankings or lens scores.
Restaurants cannot buy higher authenticity, taste, value, or vibe scores. Editorial seed lists are curated separately from paid inventory and are disclosed on methodology pages.
Questions about placement or disclosure? Use the advertise or contact forms — we respond with written confirmation of labelling before go-live.
