Editorial Policy

# Editorial Policy

Last updated: October 7, 2026

Research first

Every article starts with research: what people are actually searching for, what Pinterest demand looks like, and where existing content falls short. We don't publish filler.

No fabricated claims

• We never invent product test results, quotes, statistics, or credentials.
• Recommendations are labeled as research-based unless a product was genuinely tested.
• Prices and availability change; we aim to keep commercial content current.

Product recommendations

We recommend products we believe are genuinely useful for the reader's goal. Commission rates do not determine rankings. When a cheaper or non-affiliated option is better, we say so.

DIY safety

Home improvement content includes responsible guidance. We clearly flag projects that require licensed professionals (electrical, plumbing, structural, gas) and never present complex work as universally DIY-safe.

Corrections and updates

We correct verified errors promptly and review high-traffic articles periodically. Significant updates are noted where practical.

Independence

Advertisers and affiliate partners do not review or approve our editorial content before publication.
