Common questions
No. We vet every dealer before they join. We check stock quality, reviews, and trading history. Our audience trusts our recommendations — we only partner with dealers we'd actually send a friend to.
Always clearly as "Dealer Certified Banger". We never mix dealer stock with organic picks without transparent labelling. Our community knows and respects this.
We're early-stage — 847 registered spotters and growing. We're being transparent about this because early partners benefit from founder rates and get to shape how the commercial model develops.
Yes. All dealer placements are month-to-month with 30 days notice. No annual contracts, no lock-ins.
We use standard affiliate link formats. For CarVertical and similar, we pre-populate the reg number in the URL so the check flow is frictionless. Integration takes about 10 minutes once you're approved.
Primarily used car businesses. We'd consider manufacturer partnerships for relevant content (e.g. a guide to reliability of a specific model range) but only if it genuinely serves our audience.
