Advertising disclosure

Quick answer

StateCover Guide is free because it shows display ads, mainly served by Google AdSense. Every ad is labelled "Advertisement" and kept separate from our writing. Advertisers cannot pay for rankings, reviews, mentions or changes to our content.

How advertising works here

Ads appear in a few marked spaces: after the quick answer, in the middle of longer pages, at the end of articles and, on large screens, in the sidebar. Ads are never styled to look like our links or menus, and we never ask you to click them. We do not show ads on our About, Editorial policy, Contact, Privacy, Cookies, Terms, Disclaimer or Advertising disclosure pages.

Because this is a car insurance site, the ad network may show ads from insurers, quote-comparison services, SR-22 filing services, auto lenders, roadside assistance providers or makers of dashcams and driving apps. Seeing an ad on a page does not mean we recommend that company.

Our independence

Our editorial team decides what to write and how. Advertisers do not see our content before it is published, cannot ask for changes and do not affect which companies or products we mention. Our guides explain how coverage works rather than recommending specific insurers.

If this ever changes

If we ever add affiliate links or sponsored content, we will label them clearly on the page where they appear and update this disclosure.

Frequently asked questions

Do insurance companies pay you to be mentioned?

No. We do not accept payment for mentions, rankings or reviews.

Why do I see ads from insurers?

The ad network chooses ads that match the page topic. Seeing an ad is not an endorsement.

Do you earn money when I buy a policy?

No. We earn from display ads, not from policy sales or leads.

Are your tools sponsored?

No. Our tools are built and maintained by the editorial team and contain no sponsored results.
