General Disclosure 

The reviews and scores which Advisory Institute LLC (“Advisory”) assigns to companies within various industries or categories, are based upon Advisory’s own independent proprietary scoring system. These scores and listings are for general informational purposes only.  

Advisory sells advertising opportunities to companies which may appear on this website. Companies who wish to advertise on this website pay Advisory to be promoted or featured. However, the compensation we get from advertising agreements does not influence the review, or score we assign to those advertising partners or their products or services.    

How We Display Ratings  

Advisory uses a scoring system based on objective criteria that it sets for each category in which a company, advertising partner, product, or service is listed with the goal of creating an objective comparison tool.  Advisory does not allow companies to purchase a favorable score or rating, regardless of whether they purchase advertising from Advisory or not. 

Who and What We List  

Advisory tries to provide information about  a broad range of products, services and companies on our website. Companies aren’t required to pay Advisory or buy advertising in order to be reviewed and scored on our website.  

Advisory doesn’t have the ability to rate every single company, product, or service available in a category at any given time, and what’s available on the market is constantly changing. If you don’t see a company or product listed on this website, that does not imply that Advisory has a negative opinion of that company, or a particular product or service.  

Advertising Partnerships 

Advisory does not collect personal information from website visitors or sell it. Instead, it earns money by selling  advertising opportunities to companies which may appear on this website. Companies who wish to advertise on this website pay Advisory to be promoted or featured. However, the compensation we get from advertising agreements does not influence the score we assign to their products or services.    

Advisory does not allow advertising partners to purchase favorable scores. Any compensation which Advisory receives from advertising agreements does not influence scoring or factor into the rating system. 

If a company which is not listed on this website enters into an advertising agreement with Advisory, we may agree to add that company to our listings in connection with such an agreement. That company’s products and services will be scored and evaluated using the same objective criteria and independent scoring system that Advisory uses for companies that do not pay us.  

Advisory does allow advertising partners the opportunity to request that Advisory include additional information in their product and service listings. This may be links to their websites, a company description or motto, specific logo, or reviews pulled from third party sources.  

How We Display Listings  

When listing ratings, Advisory may choose to display the companies it scores alphabetically, by score or rating, by a characteristic which applies to all entries listed within a category, or in a random order. We do offer companies that pay for advertising the opportunity to be featured within any categories where they offer products and services that we have rated.
