FOR BUSINESSES
Your business can be part of the conversation. Not the decision.
ThreeNearMe welcomes factual updates, useful business information and commercial enquiries from local businesses. That participation can help us keep information accurate and understand what a business offers, but it cannot buy Top Three inclusion or improve editorial position.

WORKING WITH THREENEARME
There are useful ways to participate.
Businesses can help ThreeNearMe keep factual information current, provide relevant information for review, understand the editorial process and explore commercial opportunities separately from recommendation decisions.
Participation can inform the process.
It does not control the outcome.
Keep information accurate
Tell us when published business details, service areas or other factual information need review.
Corrections →Share useful information
Relevant information about services, capabilities, locations or meaningful changes can help inform research, but it remains subject to evidence and editorial review.
Understand how selection works
See how ThreeNearMe researches a wider field, compares category-relevant evidence and applies editorial judgement before publishing three recommendations.
How We Choose →Explore commercial opportunities
Advertising and Spotlight opportunities are handled separately from editorial Top Three decisions.

BUSINESS INFORMATION
Useful input. Independently assessed.
Businesses can provide useful factual context about what they do, where they operate and how their services have changed. That information can help ThreeNearMe understand a business more accurately.
But business-provided information remains one input into the research process. It is considered alongside other available evidence and does not give the business control over the editorial assessment.
Providing information helps us understand a business.
It does not give the business control over how it is assessed.
WHAT BUSINESSES KNOW BEST
Services and capabilities
What the business currently offers, including meaningful changes in services or specialisations.
Service areas and locations
Where the business operates, serves customers or has physical premises where relevant.
Current factual details
Operating information, contact details and other business facts that may need review when they change.
WHAT THREENEARME STILL EVALUATES
Relevance and context
Whether the business is genuinely relevant to the location or category being researched.
Supporting evidence
How business-provided information aligns with other credible public information.
Editorial significance
Whether the information materially changes how the business should be understood in comparison with other options.
EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE
Top Three positions are not for sale.
ThreeNearMe may earn revenue through clearly labelled advertising, sponsorship, Spotlight content and other separated commercial opportunities. Those relationships do not determine which businesses are selected for the Top Three.
Payment cannot buy inclusion, improve editorial position or change the reasons behind a recommendation.
Commercial opportunity and editorial selection are separate by design.
No paid inclusion
A business cannot purchase a place in the Top Three.
No paid position
Advertising, sponsorship or other commercial relationships do not improve a business's editorial position.
Commercial stays separate
Advertising and Spotlight opportunities are handled separately from recommendation decisions and should be clearly identifiable as commercial content.
COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITIES
Promote your business without buying the recommendation.
ThreeNearMe may offer clearly labelled advertising, Spotlight content and other commercial opportunities for businesses that want additional visibility. Commercial activity is kept separate from Top Three recommendation decisions.
Advertising can help a business reach readers. It cannot buy inclusion, editorial position or favourable recommendation wording.
Advertising
Clearly labelled promotional placements can help a business reach readers while remaining separate from editorial recommendations.
Spotlight content
Clearly identified commercial content can give a business more room to explain what it offers without becoming part of Top Three selection.
Future commercial formats
Other opportunities may be introduced where they can remain clearly separated from editorial recommendation decisions.
