Questions
Will sponsoring change my rating or ranking?▾
No — placement only. Ratings, rankings and pros/cons are editorial and never for sale. See our Advertising Disclosure.
How is a placement labeled?▾
Always clearly marked “Sponsored” or “Paid placement” so visitors know what’s paid vs. organic.
Can I run a single month?▾
Yes — Category Spotlight and Homepage & Catalog are month-to-month with no contract. Launch Partner is tailored to your timeline.
What do you need to start?▾
A logo (SVG preferred), a destination URL, and any copy. Email sponsors@freeapihub.com and we handle the rest.
