Pick My VA is committed to providing independent, accurate, and transparent coverage of the virtual assistant industry. These standards govern all editorial content published on our site.
Independence
Pick My VA is an editorially independent publication. Our rankings, scores, reviews, and recommendations are determined solely by our editorial team based on our published methodology.
No agency, company, or third party can pay for a ranking position, an improved score, or favorable editorial coverage. This policy is non-negotiable and applies without exception.
Affiliate Relationships
Pick My VA may participate in affiliate or referral programs with some of the agencies and services featured on our site. When you click certain links and sign up for a service, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial scores. An agency’s star ratings and overall score are determined independently of any commercial relationship. We feature agencies on our rankings because they earned their place through our methodology – not because they participate in an affiliate program.
Where affiliate links are present on a page, we disclose this clearly.
Sponsored Content
Pick My VA may publish sponsored articles, agency spotlights, or partner content from time to time. All sponsored content is clearly labeled with a “Sponsored” or “Partner Content” designation and is visually distinguished from editorial content.
Sponsored content does not appear on our ranking pages or influence editorial scores. The separation between editorial and commercial content is absolute.
Accuracy and Corrections
We make every effort to ensure the information on our site is accurate, current, and fairly presented. Our primary sources include firsthand research, public review platforms, official agency materials, and industry data.
If you identify an error, outdated information, or a factual inaccuracy on any page, please contact us at pickmyva@gmail.com. We take corrections seriously and will update content promptly when warranted.
Agencies featured on our site are welcome to contact us to verify or update their listing details — including pricing, service descriptions, founding dates, and other factual information. We appreciate these updates and incorporate verified corrections into our reviews. Factual corrections do not influence editorial scores.
Review Process
All editorial content is researched and written by our editorial team. We do not accept pre-written content from agencies for use in reviews or rankings. Agency-provided information (such as pricing or service descriptions) is verified against public sources before inclusion.
Our reviews aim to be fair, balanced, and genuinely useful to readers. Every review includes both strengths and areas of concern. We believe honest criticism, delivered respectfully, serves both employers and the agencies themselves.
Conflicts of Interest
If a member of our editorial team has a personal or financial relationship with an agency under review, that relationship will be disclosed or the team member will recuse themselves from the review process.
Pick My VA is a SemiMarketing property. SemiMarketing’s client relationships, if any, with agencies featured on this site do not influence editorial scores or rankings.
