• All affiliate income is reinvested into course development and student resources
• Affiliate links are clearly marked with appropriate disclaimers

Recommendation Ethics Policy

Our product and service recommendations follow strict ethical guidelines. We only recommend tools and resources that we have personally tested, use in our own marketing practices, or that align with current industry best practices. Financial relationships never compromise the integrity of our educational content or influence our critical assessment of marketing tools and strategies.

• Sponsored case studies include attribution to the providing company
• Marketing materials clearly distinguish between organic and paid content

Content Authenticity Guarantee

Despite sponsorship arrangements, Growth Labs maintains complete editorial control over all educational content. Sponsors may provide subject matter expertise and real-world examples, but they cannot influence our critical analysis, course conclusions, or educational recommendations. Our commitment to objective education always takes precedence over commercial relationships.
