Submit Your ServiceEditorial Independence
While we offer advertising opportunities to mediation services and related businesses, these commercial relationships do not influence our rankings. Our editorial team operates independently from our commercial operations.
Meeting our assessment criteria does not guarantee inclusion in rankings, as we only publish the top 10 services per category per country. All submissions are reviewed fairly against our published methodology.
