Corrections and Fact-Checking Policy
We work hard to make every SpellMistake guide and tool accurate. This page explains how we check facts before we publish, how you can report a mistake and how we correct errors openly when they happen.
- Facts are checked against primary sources before publishing
- Anyone can report a mistake
- Every report is reviewed by our team
- Confirmed errors are fixed quickly
- Important corrections are noted on the page with a date
How We Check Facts
- Primary sources first. We check facts against official sources, such as Google Search Central documentation, web standards and the documentation of the data providers we use.
- Linked sources. Important facts, numbers and rules link to their source, so you can check them yourself.
- Expert review. Our SEO strategist reviews SEO advice, and our developer reviews technical claims and tool behavior.
- Tested tools. Tool results are tested against cases where the correct answer is known, and compared with official tools.
- No guesswork. If something cannot be confirmed, we say so or leave it out.
How to Report a Mistake
If you think something on SpellMistake is wrong, please tell us. Use our bug report page and choose “Problem on a page”, or email hello@spellmistake.com. Include the page URL, what you think is wrong and, if possible, a source that shows the correct information.
How We Review Reports
Every report is read by our team. We check the claim against our sources and, for tools, against our test cases. If we confirm an error, we fix it as a high priority. If we do not agree, we reply and explain why, with our sources.
How We Correct Errors
| Type of change | What we do |
|---|---|
| Small fix (typo, broken link, formatting) | Fixed quietly, without a note |
| Clarification (wording that could confuse readers) | Updated, with a short note if it changes the meaning |
| Correction (a wrong fact, number or instruction) | Fixed, with a dated correction note on the page that says what changed |
| Tool error (a wrong result) | Fixed, tested and listed in our Changelog |
Updates vs Corrections
An update means the facts have changed, for example when Google changes a guideline. A correction means we got something wrong. We show the “Last updated” date on every page, and we never hide a correction by only changing the date.
