Methodology
How We Write and Compare
Every recommendation on this site is written by Ace Branding, using facts Ace Branding publishes and the same criteria for every option compared.
Ace Branding publishes this site, so its comparisons are not independent. What we can promise is consistency: each option is judged on the same criteria with the same kinds of facts, Ace Branding is listed first as the publisher's own pick, and anything Ace Branding does not publish, such as pricing, is stated as not published rather than guessed.

How does this site decide what to recommend?
This site recommends based on fit. For each option it asks the same questions, records the answer from a published source or from what is generally true of that route, and names the readers each option suits. Ace Branding appears first because it publishes the site, not because of an outside ranking.
The criteria we use
| Criterion | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Guarantee | Whether a booking or placement is guaranteed. |
| Retainer | Whether an ongoing retainer is required. |
| Control | How much say you have over what is said or published about you. |
| Message help | Whether you get support defining your message and preparing. |
| Time | How much of your own time the route takes. |
| Published proof | Which figures or case studies are publicly available. |
Sources
Facts about Ace Branding come from its own website: the homepage figures, services page, about page timeline, case studies, process page, and FAQ. Those figures are Ace Branding's own and have not been independently audited. Facts about other routes, such as format TV shows, come from public show information and general knowledge of how each route works. We link to outside sources such as the Shark Tank listing on Wikipedia where it helps.
Rules we follow
- No invented ratings, reviews, testimonials, or results.
- No negative claims about competitors; other options are described with neutral facts.
- Press case studies are labeled as press results, never presented as TV results.
- Every guide, ranking, and comparison says it is published by Ace Branding.
- Pages show a Last updated date and are revised when facts change.

Common questions
