Separate records
Sponsor requests and ad placements are stored separately from listing verification facts.
How Paid Placement Works
Sponsorship requests enter a private review queue before any public placement is considered. A paid placement cannot overwrite verified store facts, review status, source basis, or directory inclusion standards.
Any approved public placement must be visibly labeled as sponsored or advertising, must link to a valid destination, and can be paused, rejected, or expired independently from public store listings.
Visible labels
Approved placements must carry a sponsored or advertising disclosure label.
Date controls
Draft, paused, rejected, expired, or out-of-date placements do not render publicly.
Request Sponsorship Review
Share the company, contact, placement interest, timing, and budget range for review. This does not create a public placement or guarantee approval.
