Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about how we review products, our editorial standards, and how to get the most from Promexa.

About Our Reviews

How do you choose which products to review?
We select products based on reader demand, market popularity, and editorial value. Our team monitors consumer trends, reader requests via our contact form, and bestseller lists across major retailers. We prioritise products where our independent analysis can genuinely help readers make better decisions.
Do you purchase the products you review?
Yes — for most reviews, we purchase products using our own funds to ensure complete independence. In some cases, manufacturers provide review samples; when this happens, we disclose it clearly within the article and our editorial opinion is never influenced by the source of the product.
How long do you test products before reviewing them?
Testing duration varies by product category. Consumer electronics typically undergo 1–3 weeks of daily use. Software is tested across multiple use cases over several weeks. For complex products like laptops or audio equipment, we run standardised benchmark tests in addition to real-world usage.
How often are your reviews updated?
We review and update articles whenever a significant product update, price change, or new competitor launches that affects our recommendation. Each article displays a 'Last updated' date so you always know how current the information is.
What rating scale do you use?
We use a 1–5 star scale. A 5-star rating means the product is exceptional with no meaningful weaknesses. A 4-star product is excellent with minor caveats. A 3-star product is decent but has notable trade-offs. We rarely publish reviews below 3 stars unless there is strong consumer demand for the product.

Affiliate & Monetisation

Does Promexa.blog use affiliate links?
Yes. Promexa.blog participates in affiliate programmes, including the Amazon Associates Program and others. When you click a link marked 'Check Price' or 'Buy Now' and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This is how we fund the site and keep our reviews free.
Does using affiliate links affect your recommendations?
No. Our editorial team operates independently of our business team. Writers and editors do not know — or care — about commission rates when writing recommendations. We have turned down sponsorship deals that would have required us to alter editorial content. Our goal is your trust, not maximising commissions.
Do you accept sponsored content or paid reviews?
We do not publish paid reviews. We occasionally work with brands on sponsored content clearly labelled 'Sponsored' — but this content is kept strictly separate from our editorial reviews and does not influence our star ratings or recommendations.

Content & Editorial

Who writes the reviews on Promexa.blog?
Our content is produced by a team of specialist writers with hands-on experience in their product categories. Each author profile page details their background, expertise, and the areas they cover. We do not publish AI-generated reviews — every article is written and verified by a human expert.
How do I report an error in an article?
If you spot an error — factual, pricing, or otherwise — please use the Contact page to let us know. Include the article URL and the specific correction. We aim to fix verified errors within 24 hours and appreciate every reader who helps us improve.
Can I republish or quote your content?
Short quotes (under 100 words) with a clear attribution link back to the original article are welcome. Full republication of articles is not permitted without written permission. For licensing enquiries, please contact us.
