Advertising
2localseo displays advertising (currently via Google AdSense). Ads are served by Google and may use cookies subject to Google’s own policies; see our privacy policy for the cookie picture and your choices. Ads are labeled as advertising by the ad platform; we never ask anyone to click them, and ad placements are designed so they don’t mislead or interrupt reading.
Advertising relationships have no influence on editorial content. Advertisers don’t see articles before publication, can’t buy coverage, and can’t request changes. Our editorial policy governs what we publish, full stop.
Affiliate links
Some future articles may contain affiliate links to tools we describe. If present:
- They’re disclosed inline at the top of the article (“This article contains affiliate links…”).
- They’re marked
rel="sponsored"for search engines. - They never affect the recommendation. We publish critical and neutral analysis of tools whether or not we earn a commission from them, and we recommend free alternatives where they’re genuinely adequate. Our audit checklist and templates are free and always will be.
AI-generated media
All illustrations, hero images, and decorative graphics on 2localseo are AI-generated (GPT Image 2 via the Magica API). We use no stock photography and no images implying they are real photographs of real businesses, people, or places. Image alt text describes them as illustrations. They exist to explain concepts visually, never to fabricate evidence — screenshots of real interfaces, when needed, are actual screenshots produced by our editorial process.
AI-assisted writing
AI tools assist drafting and production, under the rules in our editorial policy: human editing, human fact-checking against primary sources, human sign-off. We do not publish unedited AI text, and we never use AI to invent quotes, statistics, reviews, or sources.
No pay-to-play
We accept no payment for: links, guest posts, coverage, inclusion in “best of” lists, or removal of critical coverage. If someone claims otherwise, they’re lying to you — please tell us: editors@2localseo.com.
