Affiliate disclosure
Plain-language version first, because that's how we'd want it explained to us.
When you click a "Try [tool]" link on this site and sign up, the company that makes the tool usually pays us a commission. It costs you nothing extra - the price is the same either way. That commission is how a free site with no ads and no email-gating stays free.
The details
The Biz Checkup participates in affiliate and partner programs operated directly by the
software companies we review (and, in a few cases, through their program networks such as
PartnerStack, Impact, or Commission Junction). Outbound recommendation links are marked
with rel="sponsored" and this disclosure appears on every page that contains them.
Our own products
One recommendation on this site is ours: What The AI Says (whattheaisays.com), the AI visibility scan, is built and operated by the same team behind The Biz Checkup. We earn from it directly rather than by commission, and it is labeled as our own service everywhere it appears - on the homepage, on its tool page, and in checkup results. It is on this site for the same reason everything else is: nothing else in the catalog covers the problem, and the first step (the scan) is free. The best-fit rule below applies to it exactly as it applies to everyone else's products.
How this affects our recommendations
It doesn't, and here's the policy that keeps us honest: best fit wins, even when the best fit pays us nothing. Commission rates never enter the ranking. Every review includes the tool's honest downside, and where a cheaper or free option is the right starting point (it often is), that's what we say.
We don't accept payment for placement, we don't run "sponsored" reviews, and we don't route you through cashback portals or coupon middlemen - every link goes straight to the maker of the tool.
