Editorial decisions stay separate
Commercial click-through, lead, or revenue targets do not determine which topics we cover, the order of recommendations, publication gates, source selection, or an article's conclusion. A Bookendo link is an optional next step, not evidence that it is the right product for every reader.
Software comparisons belong elsewhere
Salon Guide explains how salon operations and technology categories work. Rankings, platform reviews, and head-to-head software comparisons belong on SalonSoftwareGuide.com under its own methodology and disclosures. This separation helps avoid disguising purchase-intent content as education.
Current revenue model
At launch, Salon Guide does not accept payment to change editorial conclusions or sell placement inside rankings. If advertising, sponsorships, affiliate links, paid research, or other material relationships are introduced, they will be labeled where readers encounter them and this page will be updated.
