Editorial Policy

Find Me Non-Alcoholic maintains strict editorial standards to ensure our directory provides accurate, useful, and unbiased information about non-alcoholic beverage options.

Inclusion Criteria

Businesses are included in our directory based on merit and relevance to our audience:

  • Quality Standards: Must offer thoughtfully prepared non-alcoholic beverages beyond standard soft drinks
  • Operational Status: Must be currently operating and serving customers
  • Geographic Relevance: Located in areas where we maintain coverage
  • Accessibility: Open to the general public (not private clubs or restricted venues)
  • Evidence of NA Options: A menu, website, or customer reviews must show real non-alcoholic options

Data Sources

We gather information from multiple sources to ensure accuracy:

  • Public Information: Official websites and published menus
  • Third-Party Platforms: Google Places listings and public customer reviews
  • Community Submissions: User-reported venues and corrections, checked before publishing

Content Standards

All editorial content follows consistent quality and style guidelines:

  • Accuracy: Descriptions only include details we found evidence for
  • Objectivity: Descriptions focus on factual details rather than promotional language
  • Clarity: Content is written for general audiences without industry jargon
  • Completeness: Essential details like hours, contact info, and specialties are included
  • Currency: Listings are reviewed and updated to reflect changes

Review Process

New listings and updates undergo editorial review:

  1. Information Gathering: Collect data from multiple sources
  2. Evidence Check: Review the venue's menu, website, and public reviews for real NA options
  3. Content Creation: Write a description from that evidence only
  4. Spot Checks: Manual review of a sample of listings
  5. Publication: Add to the directory with the date it was checked

User-Generated Content

We welcome community contributions while maintaining quality standards:

  • Submissions: Users can suggest new venues or report changes
  • Moderation: All submissions are reviewed before publication
  • Attribution: Community contributions are acknowledged where appropriate
  • Checking: User-submitted venues go through the same evidence check

Business Relationships

We maintain editorial independence from the businesses we list. Inclusion in our directory is based solely on meeting our editorial criteria, not on commercial relationships. We do not accept payment for listings or favorable coverage.

We are committed to maintaining accurate information:

  • Error Reporting: Users can report inaccuracies through our contact form
  • Prompt Response: Reported errors are investigated and corrected quickly
  • Transparency: Significant corrections are noted with update dates
