How does featured placement work?

Featured vendors appear at the top of relevant hub, migration, and service pages with enhanced profile information including logo, key stats, and case studies. Featured placement is sold on a monthly subscription basis with a minimum 3-month commitment.

What's the difference between Basic, Enhanced, and Premium tiers?

Basic listings (free) include your company name, one-line description, and link. Enhanced listings ($500-1,500/mo) add logo, 3-5 key stats, and 'Featured Partner' badge. Premium profiles ($2,000-5,000/mo) include full case study integration, embedded testimonials, co-branded content, and guaranteed top placement across all relevant pages.

How do you measure reach?

We provide monthly analytics including impressions (page views on pages where your listing appears), profile clicks, and outbound link clicks. Enhanced and Premium tiers receive detailed reports with traffic segmentation by migration type and hub category.

Can I sponsor specific research pages?

Yes. Sponsored research allows vendors to sponsor specific hub or insight pages relevant to their expertise. Your logo and 'Sponsored by' attribution appears on the page, and you receive detailed analytics on page performance. Sponsorships are sold quarterly at $1,000-3,000 per page depending on traffic.

What's the approval process for vendor content?

All vendor-submitted content (case studies, testimonials, technical content) goes through our editorial review to ensure it meets our research publication standards. We maintain editorial independence - your placement does not influence our research findings or vendor recommendations. Typical editorial review takes 3-5 business days.

Do you offer performance-based pricing?

Not currently. All placements are sold on a flat monthly or quarterly subscription basis. This ensures our editorial independence and aligns incentives - we succeed when our research is trusted, not when we drive the most leads to any particular vendor.

Our Editorial Policy

Editorial independence is non-negotiable. Vendor placements, sponsorships, and featured listings are clearly labeled and do not influence our research findings, vendor comparisons, or editorial content.

Our research is based on analysis of 200+ real-world implementations, verified project data, and publicly available information. When we recommend vendors on migration or service pages, those recommendations are driven by data (specialization, verified case studies, project success rates) - not by who pays for placement.

What vendor payments fund: Visibility and reach. You pay to be seen by our audience on relevant pages. You do not pay for favorable research findings or preferential editorial treatment.

Transparency: All sponsored content, featured placements, and vendor-submitted case studies are labeled as such. Our readers trust us because we're transparent about commercial relationships.
