Sponsorship disclosure

Paid visibility. Clearly disclosed.

Commercial opportunities help support CHIEFORY. They should never make a buyer guess what they are looking at.

How CHIEFORY may earn revenue

CHIEFORY may offer enhanced profiles, featured category placements, sponsored directory placements, reviewed introduction opportunities, newsletter sponsorship, and disclosed editorial sponsorship.

A basic company listing does not require a paid placement. The existence of a listing is not evidence of a commercial relationship.

What a featured label means

Featured Partner and Sponsored identify a commercial placement. These labels describe visibility, not quality, a performance guarantee, or an editorial ranking. A placement is shown only while its configured campaign is active.

Editorial decisions remain separate

Paying for placement does not guarantee editorial selection, a positive assessment, or a higher editorial ranking. A provider can appear in an editorial context and a sponsored position, but those are separate decisions with separate disclosure requirements.

Introductions and outbound links

Visitors can request an introduction or visit a provider directly. CHIEFORY may measure aggregate profile views, outbound clicks, and requests to understand usage and report placement activity. Submitting a request does not automatically send your information to providers.

Questions about a placement

If a commercial relationship is unclear, contact the CHIEFORY team. Providers can learn more about available options on the provider page.
