Disclosure
Affiliate disclosure
VisibilityBench is built to be funded by affiliate commissions. When you click certain links on this site and then subscribe to a product, the vendor pays us a commission. You pay the same price either way.
Current status: no live affiliate links
As of the last updated date above, there are no affiliate links anywhere on this site. We have applied to the Airefs affiliate program and intend to apply to SE Ranking. Until those applications are approved and links go live, every outbound link on this site is a plain link that earns us nothing.
We are stating this because the disclosure has to be accurate in both directions. Claiming affiliate relationships we do not have would be as dishonest as hiding ones we do.
Programs we have applied to or intend to join
- Airefs (30 percent recurring commission on referred subscriptions), applied
- SE Ranking (30 percent recurring, 120-day cookie), intend to apply
When a program approves us and links go live, we update this page the same day and add a disclosure notice above the first affiliate link on every page that carries one.
How this affects what you read
Every article containing an affiliate link carries a disclosure notice above the first link, in compliance with the FTC's Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255). Beyond the legal requirement, here is our working policy:
- We pay for our own subscriptions for every hands-on test. If a vendor ever provides free access, the article will say so in the first paragraph.
- We review tools with no affiliate program alongside tools that pay us, and we say which is which.
- Verdicts come from logged test data. When a tool that pays us performs badly in a test, the verdict says it performed badly.
- We do not accept payment for placement, rankings, or review outcomes. No vendor sees an article before publication.
Material connection statement
VisibilityBench has applied to the Airefs affiliate program, which means we have a financial interest in Airefs even before any link earns a commission. We disclose that interest in every article that discusses Airefs, including our tool comparison, where we also point out that Airefs publishes its own competitor comparisons ranking itself first. Once affiliate links are live, assume any link to a reviewed product is an affiliate link.
