What we publish, and what we refuse to

Scope

This policy covers the reference and guidance content we publish on this site: the chamber approval guides, the state, county, and city resource pages, and our product documentation. It does not cover the public websites our customers publish on the platform — those are written and controlled by each chamber.

1. Regulatory and statistical claims carry a primary source

Any statement about a legal requirement, a government form, a filing threshold, a fee, or a program's rules is sourced to the body that sets it — the IRS, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the U.S. Census Bureau, or the relevant state office. We link the source and show the date we last verified it. Our chamber approval guides were last verified 2026-08-14.

Secondary sources — other software vendors, content marketing, aggregator sites — are not used as the basis for a factual claim.

2. We would rather say "it varies" than invent a national answer

Much of what people want a single number for genuinely does not have one. Nonprofit incorporation is handled by 50 separate state offices with their own requirements, fees, and processing times. Where that is the case we say so and point to the body that can answer, instead of publishing an average that would be wrong for almost everyone reading it.

3. Statistics keep their provenance

Population, business, and economic figures are recorded with their source dataset, vintage, and retrieval date. A figure without that chain is not presented as a sourced statistic. We do not present modeled or estimated values as exact counts.

4. A page has to earn the right to be indexed

We hold a large database of U.S. geographies, and we could generate a page for every one of them. We do not. Each location page is scored on how much genuinely location-specific material it carries — local chamber context, economic context, resources, relationships to nearby communities, and questions people actually ask. Pages scoring below 70 out of 100 are marked noindex and excluded from our sitemaps.

In practice this means the large majority of the locations in our database have no indexed page. That is deliberate. A page whose only difference from another is the name of the town should not exist in a search index, and we would rather publish fewer pages that are worth reading.

5. We do not imply a presence we do not have

We have no offices outside our own place of business. Our location pages therefore never publish a local address, a local phone number, or LocalBusiness structured data, and they never imply affiliation with a chamber or business organization we have no relationship with. We do not publish fabricated reviews, testimonials, member counts, or customer logos.

6. How AI is used

We sell AI drafting tools, so we should be direct about our own use of them. AI may assist in drafting and editing our published content. It is not a source. No AI-generated statement of fact is published without being checked against the primary source it claims to rest on, and the verification date shown on a page refers to that human check, not to when the text was generated.

7. Commercial content is separated from guidance

We are a software company and our guidance pages link to our product. We keep the two distinguishable: guidance is written to be useful whether or not the reader ever becomes a customer, and no third party can pay for placement, a mention, or a recommendation in our reference content.

8. Corrections

If something here is wrong, we want to know. Report it through our contact form with the page address and the source that contradicts it.

A factual error is corrected on the page and the verification date updated. Where a correction materially changes the guidance, we note what changed rather than silently editing it. If a claim turns out to be unverifiable, we remove it — we do not leave it up hedged.

9. Review cadence

Sourced guidance is re-verified at least annually, and sooner when the underlying source changes — for example when the IRS publishes a new revenue procedure changing user fees, when filing thresholds move, or when a program changes its pricing or standards.

This is not legal or tax advice

Nothing we publish is legal, tax, or financial advice, and reading it does not create a professional relationship. Requirements vary by state and by organization, and forms, fees, and thresholds change. Confirm your own position against the primary sources we cite and with a qualified attorney or tax professional before acting on it.
