Sourcing
Changing factual information should come from the organization responsible for it. City services link to the City of Abbotsford, transit to BC Transit, airport information to YXX, healthcare to Fraser Health and visitor listings to Tourism Abbotsford or the business itself.
Secondary travel sites may provide useful context, but official or primary sources take priority for rules, schedules and public services.
Business references
Businesses cannot create public listings or upload their own descriptions. A commercial business may be linked when it provides a real solution within the topic being discussed.
Commercial inclusion is not a promise of endorsement, ranking or permanent placement.
Backlinks
Outbound links must make sense for the reader. The site will not insert unrelated keyword-rich anchors because another website wants SEO value.
Our own network sites can be linked when geography or service makes the connection natural, such as Abbotsford transportation on an airport page or a Langley guide on a regional-travel page.
Images
Images must be created for the site, properly licensed or used with clear permission. User-uploaded business photos are not accepted.
Licensed photographs are credited on the image-credits page with author and license information.
Pros and trade-offs
Community pages may discuss traffic, car dependence, flood context, distance or limited visitor appeal. These observations are framed as planning considerations rather than neighbourhood rankings.
Where a concern is technical or property-specific, readers are directed to official or professional sources.
Corrections
Factual corrections are welcome. Temporary schedules are normally delegated to the organization responsible for keeping them current rather than copied into static pages.
No paid ranking disguised as editorial advice
A business should not become “best” because it supplied a backlink, listing or payment. Commercial resources can appear when they solve the reader's problem, and the surrounding copy should make alternatives clear. This is especially important for transportation, accommodation, food and attractions.
Dated statistics stay dated
When we use the City's demographic profiles, the page identifies them as census-based figures rather than pretending a 2021 population number is a current count. Current events, schedules, prices and operational details are delegated to live official sources whenever possible.
