Clearly.ceo participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn a commission when you click on certain links on this site and subsequently make a purchase or become a lead with a provider.
When you click a “Visit Website” link on Clearly and sign up for or purchase a product, the provider may pay us a referral fee. This fee can take different forms depending on the provider relationship:
The specific structure varies by provider and is determined by our agreement with each partner.
Compensation does not determine our rankings, ratings, or editorial coverage. We evaluate products based on their actual quality, fit for small businesses, pricing, features, and user reviews.
A product that earns us a larger commission will not rank higher than one that earns a smaller commission if the lower-earning option is a better fit for the user we’re trying to help. Our editorial decisions are made independently of our commercial relationships.
Clearly may recommend, mention, or link to providers who do not have an affiliate agreement with us. This happens when a product is the best fit for a specific use case, even if we earn nothing for the referral. Our goal is to give you the right answer, not the most profitable one.
You do not pay more when you use our affiliate links. Prices are identical whether you click through Clearly or visit a provider’s website directly. Affiliate commissions are paid by the provider, not added to your bill.
We disclose affiliate relationships in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. Affiliate links on this site are present throughout our content, including product listings, comparison tables, and guides. The presence of affiliate links does not imply that we endorse every aspect of a product or that a product is the right choice for every user.
If you have questions about our affiliate relationships or how we handle compensation, please contact us. You can also read our editorial policy for more detail on how we evaluate and rank products.
