How Sponsored Listings Work

Sponsorship changes position only. It never changes what a listing says or how it was checked.

Last updated: November 14, 2026

What sponsorship does

  • A sponsored listing appears at the top of the city and service results where the company paid to appear.
  • It always shows a Sponsored label that links to this page.
  • Sponsorship runs for a set period. When it ends, the listing goes back to its normal place.

What sponsorship never does

  • It does not change what a listing says, which services it shows, or how it was checked.
  • It does not change our guides or our advice.
  • It is not a recommendation or a guarantee of quality.
  • Only companies that already meet our listing criteria can be sponsored.

How other results are ordered

After sponsored listings, results are ordered by how much of the company's website is about foundation work, then by name. This is not a ranking of quality. You can also sort by name.
