Editorial standards for scam alerts, guides, and commercial pages
StopScam pages should be useful before they are promotional. That means source framing, clear limitations, and direct corrections when details change.
Source and attribution rules
- ✓ News pages should point to the source reporting or official announcement where possible.
- ✓ Commercial pages should use verified first-party pricing and product facts instead of inflated claims.
Corrections and updates
- ✓ Pages should be updated when pricing, product scope, or source details materially change.
- ✓ Locale routing, canonical tags, and sitemap inclusion should stay synchronized with the actual page set.
What we avoid
- ✓ Unsupported awards, inflated proof points, fake submission flows, and manipulative SEO filler.
- ✓ Thin comparison pages or low-value AI content that does not help the user make a better decision.
Frequently asked questions
1 Why are unsupported claims avoided?
Because trust is easier to lose than gain, and answer engines prefer pages that are specific, attributable, and less promotional.
2 How does this help GEO and AEO?
Clear sourcing, direct answers, and explicit limitations make content easier for AI systems to summarize, cite, and recommend.
