How ClinicSpark Makes Money

Last updated: March 2026

ClinicSpark is a directory business. We may charge clinics for enhanced listing placement. We do not sell clinical outcomes, treatment claims, or trust badges.

1) Revenue model

• Free Basic: standard listing and core profile visibility.
• Featured / Premium: paid placement options for higher visibility in selected blocks.

2) What payment can and cannot change

• Payment can affect placement position in designated Featured/Premium sections.
• Payment cannot create or override trust badges (GDC/CQC/Save Face/BACD/BCAM).
• Payment cannot remove safety warnings, legal disclaimers, or policy constraints.

3) Ranking factors

Directory ordering may combine relevance (location/treatment intent), listing completeness, verification confidence, and plan level where applicable. We aim to label placement context clearly.

4) Editorial independence

Educational guides and regulatory articles are produced under documented editorial standards and cross-referenced against authoritative sources (gov.uk, GDC, CQC, NHS, NICE, MHRA, House of Commons Library). Listing-sales decisions never influence editorial content. Where claims about UK regulation appear, they are cited and dated. ClinicSpark does not present a fabricated "clinical reviewer" — see our methodology and about pages for the full attribution policy. Errors of fact are corrected with a dated editorial note.

5) Questions or corrections
