# Policy

A business that already has a page on Little Milwaukee may buy a featured slot. Every featured slot carries a visible "Sponsored" label.

Only listed businesses can buy a slot. A business that does not pass the inclusion rule cannot buy its way onto the website.

Money never changes who is listed or how a place is described. Paying does not add a place, keep a place listed, remove a competitor, or change a page's why-line, facts, sources or collection placement. A business that stops paying keeps its page as long as it passes the inclusion rule.

Affiliate links, when a page has them, are disclosed on the page.
