OUR EDITORIAL APPROACH

Useful work.
Clear reasoning.

Growth Virality aims to help marketers and founders understand a decision before making it. These principles guide new and revised work. Older archive articles may not reflect every current standard.

HOW WE EDIT

Make the judgment
visible.

Readers should be able to see what a piece is based on, who it may help, and where its advice has limits.

01 / QUESTION

Start with the reader

Define the task or decision a piece helps with.

02 / BASIS

Show the sources

Attribute data, examples, and claims. Separate observation from opinion.

03 / FIT

Explain tradeoffs

Say when an approach or tool may help and when it may not.

04 / REVIEW

Keep it accurate

Recheck time-sensitive claims when a piece is revised.

Article review and attribution

Articles identify their author. A second editor, including Jonathan Saeidian when assigned, receives a visible review credit only after recording the article’s review criteria, source links, fact-check date, commercial disclosure, and dated signoff. Changes to the article or review record clear the approval until the editor signs off again. Our older agency comparisons carry an archive notice until they complete this process.

Editorial review here is a practitioner check of claims and reasoning, not academic peer review. A review credit is specific to the article; it should never be inferred from a reviewer’s general role.

Recommendations and commercial relationships

Growth Virality publishes editorial content alongside resource, directory, community, and partnership offerings. A tool listing is a starting point for research, not an endorsement. When a recommendation involves sponsorship, an affiliate link, a referral arrangement, or another material relationship, that connection should be disclosed near the recommendation. Payment should not determine an editorial conclusion.

Agency directory labels and certificates have their own scope and criteria. Read the agency editorial standards →
