At Solve Scout, we believe you deserve to know how our website makes money and how that may relate to the professional services we recommend.
Our goal is simple: help you understand your options, make informed decisions, and find the right expertise for your needs.
Here’s how our website is supported and what it means for you.
1. How Solve Scout Makes Money
Solve Scout provides free guides and research about professional services.
Some links on our website may be affiliate links. If you click one of these links and purchase a service, we may earn a commission from the platform or service provider.
This is known as affiliate marketing. It helps support the research, writing, and maintenance of our website.
Our affiliate relationships may include Fiverr, an online marketplace where individuals and businesses can hire freelance professionals.
Not every external link on Solve Scout is an affiliate link. We also link to official documentation, independent resources, and other useful websites without compensation.
2. Does It Cost You More?
We do not charge you an additional fee for using our affiliate links.
However, the price you pay is determined by the service provider and the platform, not by Solve Scout. Service prices, platform fees, taxes, and optional extras may apply.
Always review the full price and terms before completing a purchase.
3. How We Choose Services to Recommend
Our recommendations are intended to help readers make better purchasing decisions, not simply encourage more purchases.
When evaluating professional services, we aim to consider factors such as:
- Whether the service addresses a specific buyer’s needs.
- The scope of work, deliverables, and package limitations.
- Pricing, additional costs, and ongoing expenses.
- Seller experience, relevant work examples, and available customer feedback.
- Comparable alternatives and situations where another solution may be more appropriate.
- Potential risks, unanswered questions, and what buyers should verify before ordering.
We draw on publicly available information, independent research, and other relevant sources. The depth of research and available evidence may vary between guides.
We do not claim to have personally purchased, used, or tested a service unless we explicitly say so.
An affiliate relationship does not guarantee a recommendation or favorable coverage.
4. Our Editorial Independence
We want our readers to understand both the advantages and limitations of a service before spending money.
That means we aim to explain who a service is suitable for, what it includes, what it may cost, and when hiring a professional might not be the right choice.
We do not offer guaranteed positive reviews in exchange for payment. Any sponsored content or paid placement, if published, will be identified accordingly.
Affiliate commissions help support Solve Scout, but they should not determine our editorial conclusions.
5. Important Things to Know Before Hiring
Solve Scout is an independent information website. We do not directly provide the professional services featured in our guides.
Information about sellers, pricing, packages, and availability can change. Our research reflects the information available when it was conducted or last updated.
We encourage you to verify the service scope, total cost, delivery terms, qualifications, and other important details directly with the provider before ordering.
Your purchase agreement is with the third-party platform or service provider, not Solve Scout. We cannot guarantee a seller’s performance, delivery, or results.
6. Affiliate Disclosures in Our Articles
When an article includes affiliate recommendations, we aim to disclose the commission relationship clearly and near the relevant recommendation or link.
For example:
Disclosure: We may earn a commission if you purchase through links in this article, at no additional charge from us.
This page provides additional information about our approach to affiliate recommendations, but it does not replace disclosures within individual articles.
