How sponsored placements work

A sponsored or featured listing may be a paid placement, a partner placement, or another commercial arrangement. Paid placement may affect where a listing appears on a page, in a category, in a city view, or in a recommendation module. Sponsored placement does not replace visitor due diligence and does not guarantee that a provider is the best fit for a visitor’s needs.

Labeling and ranking

Sponsored, featured, partner, affiliate, or paid placements should be labeled when active. Organic directory listings, source-backed launch listings, and editorial category pages may appear near paid placements. A higher position should not be read as a credential verification, professional endorsement, quality rating, review score, or guarantee of availability.

What Poompugar does not do

• Poompugar does not create fake reviews or fake ratings.
• Poompugar does not invent sponsor relationships.
• Poompugar does not create fake verification badges.
• Poompugar does not guarantee pricing, availability, credentials, licenses, insurance, outcomes, or provider performance.

Visitor due diligence

Before hiring, visiting, ordering, registering, or paying, visitors should contact the business or organization directly and verify current details. This is especially important for professional services such as legal, tax, immigration, accounting, insurance, real estate, mortgage, health, education, and financial services.
