Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: March 24, 2026

Affiliate Disclosure

Cleveland.co is a free resource. We do not charge readers for access to our guides, reviews, or recommendations. To keep the site running and our editorial team paid, we earn revenue through affiliate partnerships and advertising. This page explains how that works and why it does not affect what we recommend.

How We Earn Revenue

Some links on Cleveland.co are affiliate links. When you click one of these links and complete a purchase, booking, or sign-up, the partner company pays us a small commission. This happens at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the partner's website.

Affiliate Partnerships

We maintain affiliate relationships with companies across several categories, including:

Specific partners and programs may change over time. Affiliate links are typically identified by tracking parameters in the URL or by disclosure statements near the link.

Editorial Independence

Affiliate partnerships never influence our editorial content. Our writers and editors choose what to recommend based on quality, relevance, and local knowledge. We do not accept payment to include or rank businesses in our guides. If a restaurant, hotel, or service appears on Cleveland.co, it is because our editorial team believes it deserves to be there.

Sports Betting Affiliates

Our betting hub includes links to Ohio-licensed online sportsbooks. These are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission when you sign up or place a qualifying bet. All sportsbooks featured on Cleveland.co are licensed and regulated by the Ohio Casino Control Commission. Sports betting content is intended for users who are at least 21 years old and located in Ohio or another state where online sports betting is legal. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER.

Sponsored Content

On occasion, we may publish sponsored content or accept advertising placements. Sponsored content is always clearly labeled as such. Advertising does not influence our independent editorial coverage, rankings, or recommendations.

Your Trust Matters

We understand that trust is earned. If you ever feel that an affiliate relationship has compromised the quality or objectivity of our content, we want to hear about it. Our goal is to be the most useful and honest guide to Cleveland. Revenue is what keeps the lights on, but it never dictates what we write.
