# Useful, supportable, and clear about influence

Myrtle Beach's Best separates supportable facts, editorial judgment, and paid placement.

## Standards

- Help visitors answer a real planning question.
- Record reliable source and verification context.
- Do not invent ratings, reviews, awards, prices, or claims.
- Base organic search ordering on exact and prefix name matches, weighted listing and taxonomy relevance, typo-tolerant similarity, and stable non-payment tie-breakers.
- Label commercial influence where it affects presentation.
- Correct material errors without favoring a commercial relationship.

Before a launch listing is treated as verified, its name, category, location, phone, website, and operating status should be checked. Editorial collections should have a clear visitor need, original context, and a defensible reason for each inclusion.

Category and area filters narrow eligible results before pagination. Payment, listing tier, subscriptions, campaigns, and placements are not organic matching or scoring inputs. Automated query and migrated-database tests cover search inputs, filters, pagination, exact-name priority, taxonomy relevance, misspellings, and stable tie-breakers.

Anyone may [report a factual error](https://myrtlebeachsbest.com/report-correction) without an account by identifying the affected page or business, disputed information, proposed correction, and a reliable source.

Myrtle Beach's Best does not currently publish visitor reviews or star ratings. If first-party reviews are introduced, moderation, eligibility, conflicts, reporting, and aggregation rules will be published before submissions open.
