This page explains how money can affect provider visibility on Placiva and what that should mean for you.

How Placiva can earn money

  • A provider may pay for a clearly labeled sponsored placement.
  • A provider may submit information for a clearly labeled provider-supplied profile.
  • Placiva may later test referral or qualified request arrangements when the consent language and labels are clear.
  • The planning guides and tools can remain free to you because of these business models.

What payment does not mean

  • Payment does not mean Placiva has inspected the provider work.
  • Payment does not mean the provider is licensed, insured, safest, cheapest, preferred, or available.
  • Payment does not replace your duty to verify licenses, insurance, contracts, permits, warranties, references, and local requirements.
  • Payment does not allow a provider to buy fake reviews, fake testimonials, hidden ranking claims, or unsupported safety claims.

How labels should work

Sponsored placements should be labeled as sponsored. Provider-supplied details should be labeled when they come from the provider. Public-source listings should not be treated as verification.

If a provider is ever labeled verified, the page should explain what was checked and when. Until then, sponsored status and public-source status are not verification.

How this affects your choices

  • Use the free guides and tools to prepare your own questions before contacting anyone.
  • Compare more than one provider when practical.
  • Ask each provider for current proof that fits your state, city, and project type.
  • Report unclear labels through the contact page.
