Yes. Sponsored or paid placements will be visibly labeled and kept separate from editorial standards.

About Greenwich Insider

Greenwich Insider covers Greenwich restaurants, schools, neighborhoods, beaches, weekend plans, moving questions, and home logistics. It is owned by AxyTech. The rules are simple: no fake rankings, no paid placement without labels, and no directory pages unless listings are checked.

Current editorial desk

Greenwich Insider is in early editorial buildout. Until a named local editor/byline system is finalized, corrections and reader tips go to the Greenwich Insider desk at hello@axytechllc.com. Public recommendations should show sources, update dates, and clear criteria.

Editorial rules

Say who a guide helps and what decision it answers.
Use official or primary sources when rules, dates, prices, or access can change.
Label paid visibility when monetization begins.
Do not call a business “best” without visible criteria.
Keep empty directory sections out of the main navigation.

How recommendations are selected

Each major guide should answer a real Greenwich decision: what to do this weekend, where to eat for a specific occasion, how to understand a neighborhood, how school logistics work, or which local service category matters for homeowners.

Local usefulness: solves a real Greenwich decision or planning moment.
Specificity: names neighborhoods, landmarks, logistics, or use cases when relevant.
Curation: explains who something is best for instead of pretending every listing is equal.
Source confidence: links to official or primary sources where facts can change.
Would this help someone choose where to go, what to check, or who to call?

How pages are updated

Evergreen guides should show a visible last-updated date when they include facts that can change. Time-sensitive guides use official or primary sources first, then local publications as discovery leads. Directory pages stay de-emphasized until listings carry source URLs, last-verified dates, and sponsorship status.

Corrections

Greenwich changes quickly: hours shift, events sell out, businesses move, and seasonal rules matter. Send corrections, missing context, or local tips to the Greenwich Insider editorial desk.

Sponsorship and local business visibility

Greenwich Insider may eventually include sponsored profiles, featured placements, newsletter sponsorships, or local visibility services. Paid placements should be clearly labeled. Editorial pages should still explain selection criteria and avoid implying paid inclusion equals a “best” recommendation.

Reader modes: locals, newcomers, and students

Some guides are written for people who already know the town; others explain basics that locals take for granted. Newcomer-facing pages should clarify logistics like beach access, parking, school calendars, village names, Metro-North tradeoffs, and seasonal routines. Local-facing pages should be sharper, shorter, and more opinionated where the facts support it. We also need a better lane for teens and students: coffee, cheap eats, no-car plans, older-kid activities, and school-life resources.
