Independence policy

Editorial ranking is not a commercial product

Zero paid placements. Published methodology. Structural separation between research signals and revenue.

Last reviewed:

Ask Trust Hub rejects sponsored “top” lists that present as independent research. Across the parent site and every Trust Hub, public evidence, research findings, and listing order cannot be purchased or rewritten by a participating business.

Move, Lender, Insurance, Contractor, Senior, and Investor Trust Hub are part of the Ask Trust Hub network under common ownership, with separated research and listing order and no paid placements. Independence in this policy means research and listing order are not for sale — not that the hubs are unaffiliated companies.

Common ownership · Separated research and listing order · No paid placements

Zero paid placements

No company may purchase ranking, featured position, or preferred display on any Trust Hub. Listings and scores follow published methodology and verification data.

No transactional role

The network is not a mover, lender, broker, or insurance agency. It does not originate loans, sell policies, or book moves. Its function is independent research infrastructure.

Transparent methodology

Verification process, data sources, and known limitations are published. Primary sources remain available for independent re-checking.

Corrections policy

Material errors are corrected. Incomplete data is disclosed. Accuracy is treated as an operational requirement, not a marketing claim.

What “no paid placements” means

  • Providers cannot buy higher rank, featured badges, or preferred sort order.
  • No business-quality score or endorsement badge is created by claiming a profile.
  • Any future advertising or opt-in commercial tools will be labeled and isolated from organic research ordering.
  • Corrections are evaluated against public records and evidence, not commercial interest.

What the network is not

The network is not a moving company, mortgage broker, bank, insurance agency, or lead marketplace. Specialist hubs may offer optional consumer tools; those tools do not alter independence rules.

Enforcement

Network policy is published on this parent site and applied by each Trust Hub. Reports of sold placement or ranking are treated as integrity issues. Contact hello@asktrusthub.com.
