Advertising and sponsored placement disclosure.
SmileMerit may eventually earn revenue from clearly labelled sponsored placements, provider profile upgrades, advertising, or partner links.
Sponsored placements
Sponsored content should be clearly labelled and visually separated from organic guidance.
Editorial independence
Paid placement should not automatically imply clinical endorsement, quality ranking, or guaranteed suitability.
Material relationships
When a financial relationship could affect how users interpret content, SmileMerit should disclose it clearly.
Built to help users choose with more confidence.
Independent
SmileMerit is designed as a comparison platform, not a clinic or single-provider promotion.
Structured profiles
Provider pages organise services, fit, location, and profile completeness in a consistent way.
Responsible guidance
Content is educational and does not replace advice from a qualified dental professional.
Clear disclosures
Sponsored placements and paid relationships should be clearly labelled and separated from editorial guidance.
