Editorial Methodology

Miami Guide uses editorial checks to keep public pages narrow, sourced, and useful before adding broader coverage.

Reviewed records

Published pages are backed by official hotel, restaurant, airport, port, museum, or city sources captured in the editorial records.

Narrow decision scope

The app starts with base selection and timing decisions instead of broad best-of coverage.

No paid inclusion

The current set is an editorial planning set. Paid placement is not part of the reviewed records.

Reviewed expansion

New public pages are added only after source checks and QA confirm they strengthen the guide.

How we evaluate local recommendations

Our local recommendations are based on a mix of editorial research, source checks, field notes where available, local context, and feedback from people who know or have used the place.

When useful, we speak with local residents, hospitality professionals, repeat visitors, and independent contributors to understand how a place works in real visitor situations. We use this input to judge whether a recommendation is practical, consistent, and useful for the guide's intended audience.

We may also consider private feedback about customer experiences. Private comments are treated as confidential: we do not publish names, identifying details, screenshots, or direct quotes without permission. Private feedback is used only as an internal editorial signal, and we look for repeated patterns before relying on it.

A place is recommended only when the overall evidence supports it: location fit, consistency of experience, service reliability, value for the intended visitor, and alignment with the guide's purpose. Paid placement, partnership interest, or owner outreach does not guarantee recommendation.
