City AdSearch Content Guidelines
City Adsearch’s mission is to help people discover great local businesses and foster strong communities. Your contributions help make that possible. To ensure City Adsearch remains a helpful and respectful platform, we ask all users to adhere to the following content guidelines:
- Inappropriate Content: We encourage users to express their opinions respectfully. Avoid inappropriate content, such as threats, harassment, lewdness, hate speech, or other displays of bigotry.
- Conflict of Interest: Your reviews and posts should be unbiased and objective. For example, as a business owner, you should not write reviews about your business or competitors. That leads to a conflict of interest that can undermine the authenticity of your thoughts.
- Promotional Content: We love when users share experiences and recommendations. However, reviews should not serve as a platform for self-promotion or advertising.
- Relevance: Keep your reviews relevant to the business at hand. Personal anecdotes are helpful as long as they relate directly to your experience with the company.
- Privacy: Don’t publicize other people’s private information. Avoid sharing close-up photos or other content that might invade someone’s privacy.
- Intellectual Property: Only post content you’ve created or can use.
- Demands: You should refrain from using your reviews to force a business to meet specific needs.
- Accuracy: Your reviews and ratings should reflect your overall experience with a business. We encourage honest feedback but avoid exaggerating or misrepresenting your experience.
- Business Photos and Videos: Photos and videos should broadly represent the business and reflect the typical consumer experience (e.g., what the company looks like, offers, etc.).
We reserve the right to remove any content that violates these guidelines or our Terms of Service at our discretion. Please report any violations you see to help us keep City AdSearch a trustworthy and helpful resource for all.
By contributing to City AdSearch, you agree to abide by these guidelines and our Terms of Service. Thank you for helping us build a great local community!
Our community at City AdSearch thrives on the real, personal experiences shared by users like you. Your reviews contribute to a wealth of knowledge that helps others discover the best local businesses. To ensure the quality and reliability of these reviews, we have established the following guidelines:
- Personal Experience: We’re all about firsthand experiences. Please ensure your review is based on your experience with the business. Avoid gossip, and keep your review honest, accurate, and informative.
- Be Respectful: People have different experiences, and that’s okay. Be respectful when sharing your opinions, even if they differ from others. Offensive language, personal attacks, and hate speech have no place on City AdSearch.
- Be Relevant: Keep your reviews focused on the business. Avoid mentioning unrelated experiences or personal grievances. The best reviews provide a detailed account of your experience with a specific product or service.
- Be Original: Your review should be original and written by you. Do not plagiarize content or submit someone else’s experience as your own. We respect intellectual property rights and expect our users to do the same.
- No Personal Information: Respect the privacy of others. Do not include personal information about yourself or anyone else, such as phone numbers, email addresses, or physical addresses.
- No Promotional Content: Reviews should not be used for promotional or commercial purposes. Do not include promotional links or advertisements in your review.
- No Conflicts of Interest: Objectivity is critical. Do not write reviews for businesses you own or work for; avoid reviewing your direct competitors.
- Photo and Video Guidelines: If you add photos or videos, ensure they are relevant to your experience and accurately represent the business. Please do not post close-ups of other people without their consent.
- Accuracy: Your rating should reflect your overall experience with the business. Try to avoid exaggerating or downplaying your experience.
City AdSearch reserves the right to remove reviews that do not adhere to these guidelines or our Terms of Service. We rely on our community members to report content that violates these guidelines.
Thank you for your contributions and for helping City AdSearch remain a trustworthy and reliable resource for local business discovery.
Welcome to the City AdSearch community! We are dedicated to maintaining an inclusive and respectful platform that allows users to discover and engage with local businesses. To uphold this commitment, we request that all users follow these Community Guidelines:

- Personal Conduct: Be responsible and considerate in your conduct. Personal attacks, excessive arguing, or other disruptive behavior may result in removing content or suspending your account.
- Respect Privacy: Do not post personal information about others without their explicit permission, and respect the privacy of other users. This includes not publishing private communication between users or businesses without consent.
- Authenticity and Honesty: Only share content you know is accurate and genuine. Do not create misleading impressions or make false statements about businesses or services.
- No Spam or Self-Promotion: Refrain from posting irrelevant content, including repetitive posts, promotional material, or self-promotion. City AdSearch is a place to share experiences and help others, not for advertising.
