Editorial Policy

Last updated: November 10, 2026

This policy describes the standards behind everything published on AI Tools for Social Media. It covers independence, accuracy, sourcing, our use of AI, sponsored relationships, and how we correct mistakes.

Editorial independence

Our editorial decisions, including what we cover, how we rate tools, and what we conclude, are made independently. Vendors cannot buy a review, a ranking position or a favorable verdict. Where a company offers us free access to a product, we say so, and it does not change our assessment.

Accuracy and sourcing

  • Every factual claim must rest on a verifiable source: the vendor’s official documentation, a primary source, credible research, or hands-on testing.
  • We attribute data, studies, and quotes to their real origin and link to the original where possible.
  • We do not invent statistics, studies, quotes, testimonials, or examples. If evidence for a claim does not exist, we say what is actually known.
  • We distinguish between what we tested, what a vendor claims, and what users report. See our Methodology.
  • Pricing, limits, and feature details carry a “last verified” date.

Our use of AI in producing content

AI tools can assist with research, outlining, and drafting. They are not a substitute for editorial responsibility. Content on this site is reviewed and fact-checked by a human before publication, and a human is accountable for what is published. We do not publish AI output that has not been checked against sources, and we do not use AI to generate fake reviews, fake personas, or fabricated evidence.

Affiliate links and monetization

Some links on this site may be affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Our policy:

  • Affiliate relationships never determine which tools we review or how we rate them.
  • We disclose affiliate links clearly, on the page where they appear.
  • We will review and recommend tools that have no affiliate program, and we will criticize tools that do.

Sponsored content and advertising

If we ever publish sponsored content or display advertising, it will be clearly labeled and kept separate from editorial content. Sponsors have no editorial control and no right to approve or change our conclusions.

Conflicts of interest

Our team will disclose relevant relationships with a vendor when they exist, for example, a prior business relationship or an ownership interest, and will not review products where the conflict cannot be managed fairly.

Updates

We revisit articles when pricing, features or terms change materially. Updated articles show a revised date, and significant changes are noted in the text.

Corrections

We correct errors promptly. If you believe something on the site is inaccurate or out of date:

  1. Email [email protected] with the page address, the statement in question, and, if possible, a source.
  2. We review the claim against primary sources.
  3. If it is wrong, we fix it and, for material errors, add a correction note to the article.

Vendors may request corrections of factual errors by the same route. A request to soften an honest assessment is not a factual correction.

User comments and submissions

Reader feedback is welcome. We may remove comments that are abusive, unlawful, spam, or promotional. Tool suggestions and tips are considered on their merits and do not guarantee coverage.

Who is responsible

Editorial standards on this site are set by site author Tom Morgan, a social media strategist with eight years of experience managing brand accounts. See the author page.
