Corrected
A supported factual error is replaced and the source or capture date is updated.
Corrections policy
See an error? Show us the source.
Coastal SD Pros reviews corrections to business records, factual claims, shortlist evidence, and methodology language. Send the exact page, the exact issue, and the strongest dated public source you have.
What to include
Make the issue reproducible.
A clear source lets the reviewer separate a factual correction from a preference or promotional request.
- The page URLLink to the exact Coastal SD Pros page where the information appears.
- The exact statement or fieldQuote the words, number, label, business detail, or conclusion you believe is wrong.
- The requested correctionState the replacement fact or clarification in plain language.
- A dated public sourceProvide the strongest official, public-record, or first-party URL that supports the change.
- Your relationshipTell us whether you are the business, a homeowner, a source representative, or another reader.
- A reply address, if wantedContact details are optional unless you want a response or the source requires clarification.
Please do not send private identity documents, license images, payment data, or customer records by email. Use a publicly accessible source whenever possible. See the privacy policy for how correction submissions are handled.
Human review
Nothing changes automatically.
A reviewer checks the request against the dated source already on the page, the evidence supplied, and other reliable sources when needed.
-
Classify the request
We identify whether it concerns a factual record, evidence label, ownership status, editorial conclusion, commercial disclosure, privacy issue, or simple typo.
-
Compare the evidence
We open the supplied source, note its date and authority, and compare it with the source behind the published statement. A business claim may support “publicly claimed” without supporting “verified.”
-
Choose the smallest accurate change
We may correct the fact, clarify the wording, update the source date, change the status to unknown, add a limitation, or leave the page unchanged if the request is unsupported.
-
Record material changes
If the correction could have affected a reader’s decision or changes an editorial conclusion, we update the page date and add a public correction note below.
Possible outcomes
Accuracy—not advantage—is the goal.
A correction request cannot be used to purchase, negotiate, or pressure a favorable editorial result.
Clarified
The original statement was not false, but clearer context or a limitation makes it less likely to mislead.
Status changed
A claim moves between verified, publicly claimed, and unknown because the evidence changed or conflicted.
No change
The supplied source does not support the requested change, is not current, or addresses a different fact.
Removed from scope
A duplicate, closed business, national chain, out-of-market record, or unsupported page may be removed or excluded from a defined local shortlist.
Editorial note added
A meaningful disagreement, commercial relationship, or evidence limitation remains visible so readers can evaluate it.
Editorial independence
Corrections are not a sales channel.
Coastal SD Pros is owned and published by Roscoe Equity LLC, which also owns Roscoe Site Pro.
- No pay-to-fix. A business does not need to advertise, buy an RSP service, or become a client to submit a correction.
- No pay-to-remove. Accurate limitations, relationship disclosures, and relevant public facts are not removed in exchange for money or a commercial agreement.
- No retaliatory treatment. A complaint or correction request does not reduce a business’s editorial standing.
- No client preference. RSP client status does not affect correction decisions, evidence labels, directory order, or shortlist inclusion.
- Sponsored remains sponsored. A correction to a paid placement does not turn it into organic editorial coverage.
Editorial decisions are independent of advertising and RSP client status.
Every correction is evaluated against the source and the same published standards.
Public accountability
Correction and policy log
Material published-error corrections and major methodology changes are recorded separately.
Methodology policy revised
Replaced the prior universal review-volume ordering model with separate standards for factual directory records and decision-specific editorial shortlists. Review count is now documented as one reputation signal rather than the result. This was a policy change, not a correction to a specific business record.
No material correction notices posted yet
This log will identify the affected page, what was wrong, what changed, and the correction date when a material published error is corrected.
Questions about the standard
Read the evidence rules behind the review.
The methodology defines factual records, editorial shortlists, source dates, verified and claimed states, local ownership labels, commercial separation, and publication limitations.
