Our editorial standard
Practical utility and transparent sourcing come before list length.
Changing facts stay attributable
Conditions, prices, schedules, rules, and accessibility details link to the responsible source.
No invented social proof
The site does not create ratings, testimonials, visitor counts, or popularity claims.
How the guide set was researched
The first architecture used scoped competitor and official-site crawling with Screaming Frog.
What the crawl measures
It supports architecture, coverage, headings, metadata, duplication, and crawlability decisions.
What it does not measure alone
Screaming Frog does not establish exact keyword search volume without a connected data source.
Independence and limits
Commercial relationships must be disclosed before they affect a link or placement.
Not an official agency
Visitors should follow posted rules, warnings, lifeguards, and emergency instructions.
Corrections and review
Substantive updates should record the source and review date rather than changing dates automatically.
Primary public sources
Changing information belongs to the organization responsible for it. Open the source before acting on rates, rules, schedules, availability, or conditions.
