Affiliate Marketing Editing and Proofreading Services

Affiliate marketing puts a commercial relationship inside content that reads as a recommendation, at a scale no brand can supervise. A merchant runs a programme; a thousand publishers write about the product in their own voice; the merchant is answerable for claims it never saw and disclosures it did not check. When a regulator or a platform takes an interest, the question is what the programme's terms actually required and whether anyone enforced them.

We edit what merchants, networks and publishers produce — affiliate programme terms and conditions, publisher application and approval criteria, commission structures and payment terms, disclosure requirements and approved wording, brand and claim guidelines for affiliates, prohibited practices and promotional method restrictions, cookie duration and attribution explanations, deep linking and coupon policy, compliance monitoring and enforcement procedures, publisher newsletters and programme communications, network listing and recruitment copy, breach and termination correspondence, and publisher-facing guidance on writing honest reviews. Our editors check that the terms say what the programme will actually enforce.

Disclosure is where affiliate programmes carry the most risk and give the least direction. Terms requiring publishers to comply with all applicable laws and make appropriate disclosures have transferred a judgement to people who are not lawyers, are writing on a phone, and will do the minimum that appears acceptable. We rewrite these so the required disclosure is supplied as approved wording rather than as a principle, with the placement specified — before the first affiliate link, visible without expanding anything, not only in a footer or a bio; so the requirement is stated per format, because a video, a story and a written review each need something different; so the prohibited claims are listed concretely rather than as a ban on misleading statements, since publishers do not consider their own enthusiasm misleading; and so the monitoring is described honestly, including what the merchant checks and what happens on a first breach. A programme that supplies the wording gets compliance; one that requires publishers to work it out gets whatever the least careful one decides.

Everything you send is treated in confidence, including programme terms, commission structures and publisher information. We are editors rather than legal or regulatory advisers, and we offer no view on disclosure requirements, advertising rules or platform policies in any jurisdiction — those need checking by your own advisers. What we can do is make the terms clear and the required disclosures easy to comply with.
