Commercial firewall
CompareDentalPrices can add commercial products only after the evidence layer is useful, correction routes are live and ranking neutrality is protected.
Firewall rules
Rankings, NHS acceptance status, price medians and quality gates are evidence outputs. They must not use affiliate value, enhanced listing status or commercial relationship data.
- Corrections are free and reviewed on evidence quality.
- Enhanced listings, if launched later, must be clearly labelled.
- Commercial modules sit below the neutral result and never replace comparison data.
- Sponsored, affiliate or paid placements use appropriate relationship attributes and plain disclosure.
Launch gates
- Methodology, privacy and correction policy live
- NHS checker and private price comparison working
- Affiliate disclosure visible before any commercial link
- Ranking logic ignores affiliate value and paid listing status
- No commercial CTA on NHS access, CMA, methodology, press or corrections pages
Current status: hold monetisation. The public evidence layer and trust pages must mature before any affiliate placement goes live.
Commercial exclusion zones
- NHS accepting result lists
- Emergency contact modules above contact details
- Methodology pages
- CMA tracker and regulatory pages
- Press and data pages
- Corrections policy
- Practice comparison pages
Disclosure wording
We may earn a commission if you buy a product through a clearly labelled commercial link. This does not affect our comparison data, NHS acceptance records, price medians, correction process or rankings.
For factual updates, use the free corrections route. For methodology questions, use the methodology page.
