Editorial Policy

This page sets out the editorial standards that govern what Dealer Visibility Index publishes, how we make coverage decisions, and how we handle corrections and disputes.

Editorial governance

Dealer Visibility Index publishes based on data availability, editorial prioritization, and the informational value of the profile to the audience it serves. Dealer Visibility Index does not sell factual corrections or profile accuracy. Commercial relationships, where applicable, do not determine verified facts, correction handling, or source methodology.

If that changes in the future, we will disclose it clearly on any affected pages and on this policy page.

Accuracy standards

We publish only what we can verify. Every data point in a dealership profile (address, phone number, hours, services, organizational affiliation) is traced to the dealer's own published sources or a verifiable secondary source before publication. Data we cannot verify is omitted.

We do not publish speculation, estimates, or data inferred from general industry knowledge. We do not present unverified information as fact. Where relevant data is unavailable, we note the gap rather than filling it with approximate information.

Content we will not publish

• Unverified dealership claims
• Live inventory, pricing, promotional offers, or lease rates
• Customer reviews, ratings, or testimonials
• Information about individual dealership employees or personnel
• Speculative or forward-looking statements about dealership performance
• Content derived from unattributed or unverifiable sources
• Content designed to disparage a dealership or any individual

Byline and attribution

Published content is attributed to the Dealer Visibility Index Editorial Team. We do not use named individual bylines. We do not create fictitious authors, credentials, or personas. The editorial team is the attribution unit for all published content on this resource.

Corrections and disputes

We take accuracy seriously and we correct errors promptly when they are identified. If you believe information published about a dealership is incorrect:

• Contact us at editorial@dealervisibilityindex.com
• Identify the specific page and data point you believe is incorrect
• Provide the correct information and, where possible, a supporting source (e.g., a link to the dealer's published hours or address)

We will review the request, verify against available sources, and update the published information if the correction is confirmed. We will respond to all correction requests, though response time may vary.
