Directory Submission Rules
Guidelines and terms for maintaining a high-quality wellness directory.
To maintain the quality and relevance of our directory for our health-conscious readers, all submissions are subject to the following rules and conditions.
Submission Requirements
- Relevance: All listings must be wellness-related or aligned with The Holistic mission. We reserve the right to decline businesses that do not fit our focus.
- Manual Review: All listings are manually reviewed by our team before being published.
- Accuracy: Incomplete, misleading, or spammy submissions will be rejected. Please ensure all information is accurate and up-to-date.
- Editorial Discretion: Listings may be edited for formatting, clarity, and consistency with our site's style guide.
Free Listing Rules
- Backlink Requirement: Free listings require a live, clickable backlink to The Holistic, along with our logo, placed on the submitter's website.
- Verification: The backlink must be verifiable at the URL provided during submission.
- Maintenance: The backlink must remain live. We periodically check backlinks. If the backlink is removed, the free listing may be suspended or removed without notice.
Paid Featured Listing Rules
- Quality Review: Paid listings are still subject to a quality review to ensure they align with our directory's standards.
- No Backlink Required: Paid listings do not require a backlink, though you are welcome to add one if you choose.
- Refunds: If a paid listing is rejected during the initial review process, a full refund will be issued.
General Terms
We reserve the right to remove any listing at any time if it is found to violate these rules, engages in unethical business practices, or if the requirements for the listing type are no longer met.
