Keep ranking evidence separate
The published order should follow the underlying research record. A provider request, editorial preference, or editorial preference does not justify an unsupported change to that result.
A factual correction may change how a provider or product is described. If a correction also affects the ranking data, the relevant evidence needs to be addressed rather than silently substituting a preferred result.
Commercial links and sponsorship
A link to a provider is not, by itself, evidence of an affiliate relationship. Compensated links and placements should carry a clear disclosure near the relevant content. Advertising and sponsored content should be recognizable as such.
Affiliate disclosure
Moving Consensus Index may receive compensation when you use certain links, request moving quotes, connect with a commercial partner, or book or purchase a qualifying service. Affiliate, referral, advertising, and other arrangements may support publishing and create a potential financial conflict.
Commercial links may use referral identifiers, tracking parameters, or cookies to attribute an action. Compensation may come from a moving provider, broker, marketplace, referral platform, or marketing network. A link does not necessarily indicate a direct relationship with every company mentioned.
- Compensation does not change recorded AI responses, recommendation counts, research scores, provider inclusion, study or category rankings, or historical results. Sponsored placements should be clearly identified.
- A commercial partner may offer only some providers, services, dates, or locations in the research. A quote link is not a research award or guarantee of availability, total price, or service quality. Compare current written estimates, contract terms, and privacy practices.
- Arrangements and compensation can vary. Do not assume a referral link changes the price of your move. Commercial status does not prevent a factual correction or give a provider the right to change accurate research.
Provider input and potential conflicts
Providers may identify factual errors and supply primary sources. Their statements still need to be considered as provider-supplied information, not independent validation of a claim.
A material relationship affecting an article should be disclosed where readers can assess it. Contributor involvement does not imply endorsement of a provider or determine its position.
