Advertising Disclosure

1. Our Commitment to Transparency

Emely Approved believes in clear, honest communication with our community. When content is produced as part of a paid commercial arrangement, sponsorship, or promotional partnership, we ensure it is transparently labeled in accordance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines.

2. Paid Promotional Features

Content created as part of a paid commercial arrangement or promotional partnership represents a paid creative production service in which a local business engages Emely Approved to develop promotional content introducing its establishment, food, products, or services.

Paid promotional content published on social media will display appropriate disclosure indicators, such as #Ad, #Sponsored, or applicable Paid Partnership labels.

Payment for promotional content does not guarantee an “Emely Approved” designation.

3. What “Emely Approved” Means

When Emely says that a restaurant, food item, or dining experience is “Emely Approved”, that approval is based on a real, in-person experience.

Emely or members of the Emely Approved team personally visit the establishment and actually try the food in real life before giving it the Emely Approved designation. We do not give an Emely Approved recommendation based solely on photographs, menus, online reviews, artificial intelligence, third-party descriptions, or information supplied by the business.

An Emely Approved designation reflects the team’s genuine experience with the food and items evaluated during that particular visit. It should not be interpreted as a guarantee regarding every menu item or every future customer experience.

4. Organic Recommendations & Editorial Independence

Organic community recommendations, street interviews, and regular editorial visits are independent and community-driven. Businesses cannot purchase an editorial endorsement, a positive recommendation, or an Emely Approved designation.

Paid promotional content is always clearly distinguished from organic editorial coverage.

5. Operating Company

Emely Approved is operated by Tomas Soto Marketing & Consulting Group Inc.
