COMMERCIAL TRANSPARENCY

Partnership Disclosure

Local Portal Studio portals combine public education with clearly disclosed, paid exclusive featured-provider relationships.

Featured providers pay for exclusive placement

A featured specialist or business pays a setup/personalization fee and a recurring portal lease for exclusive placement in an agreed specialty and territory. The relationship should be disclosed on every operating portal where commercial placement may influence reader interpretation.

The provider remains responsible for professional services

The provider controls its own phone, email, booking, maps, website, pricing, consultation, customer communication, contracts, payments, warranties, and service delivery. Local Portal Studio does not provide the featured provider’s medical, legal, financial, trade, or other professional services.

Direct contact, not lead administration

Calls, bookings, messages, and referrals connect directly to the featured provider. Local Portal Studio does not answer, record, qualify, resell, or distribute those inquiries.

Editorial standards still apply

Payment does not authorize fabricated proof, false credentials, hidden guarantees, misleading comparisons, or publication that conflicts with the portal’s editorial standards.

No performance guarantee

Search rankings, AI citations, traffic, leads, revenue, and customer behavior depend on external systems and cannot be guaranteed.
