Trust is the product. This page explains how listings get on Functional Medicine Market Map, how they are verified, and how sponsored placements are separated from editorial content.
How listings are added
Listings are researched and added by our editorial team, or submitted by companies through the Submit a Listing page. Every listing is reviewed before it goes live. A basic listing is free.
Verification and freshness
Every listing carries a last verified date. We review listings on a rolling cycle and update or flag anything that has changed. If a company closes, rebrands, or materially changes its offering, we update the listing or remove it.
Sponsored versus editorial
Paid placements, such as featured category positions and verified badges, are always clearly labeled. Payment never changes editorial descriptions, and rankings are never sold.
How rankings work
Where listings are ordered, the ordering is based on relevance, completeness of the listing, and verification status. We do not accept payment to alter editorial order. Featured placements are labeled as such.
Corrections, updates, and removal
If you represent a listed organization and something is wrong, or you want your listing removed, contact us with the listing name and your request. We honor legitimate update and removal requests promptly.
No medical claims
We do not publish cure claims or outcome guarantees. Listings describe what an organization offers, not what results it promises.
