Nothing is for sale on these directories today. Here is exactly what would change, and what would not, if that ever altered.

Paid placement is not offered

There is no rate card on this page because there are no rates. No advertising, sponsorship, or paid placement is sold on any True Level Media directory today, and no contractor has paid us for anything.

We would rather say that plainly than run a media page implying an inventory we do not have.

What it would look like if it launched

If paid placement is introduced, four rules apply, and they are the same four already written into our editorial standards:

  • Labeled. Anything paid is marked as paid, in plain language, where a reader sees it before acting on it.
  • Capped. Paid surfaces are limited in number so a page does not become an advertising board.
  • Outside the ranked list. A paid surface never occupies a ranked position and never displaces a ranked result.
  • Score-blind. Payment cannot move a score. The ranking engine has no access to who has paid for anything.

Earned labels are a separate matter and cannot be bought at any price. If an editor's pick ever appears, it means the editor chose it on the evidence.

What we will not publish

We are a new publisher with no traffic history worth quoting, so this page carries no audience figures, no impression counts, and no reach claims. Publishing invented numbers on a site whose argument is verifiability would undermine everything else on it.

If you want to know when this changes

Email hello@truelevelmedia.com with "advertising" in the subject line and we will tell you when there is something real to describe. Nobody will call you, and there is no list you are joining by asking.

Current status

No paid placement

Rankings are featured-blind: the engine cannot see whether a business has paid.
