Editorial Standards

Editorial Policy

CoHabby publishes content to answer real search questions about roommates, shared housing, and room listings. The bar is usefulness first, sales second, and clear sourcing throughout.

How topics are chosen

We prioritize topics where people are clearly trying to solve a housing or matching problem: finding better-fit roommates, listing a room more effectively, screening applicants, and understanding the economics of shared housing.

We use Search Console, page-family performance, recurring support themes, and product knowledge to decide what deserves a page.

How we handle claims and comparisons

We prefer direct sources, transparent caveats, and specific numbers over vague marketing language. When a comparison is opinionated, it should still be fair about where competitors are genuinely strong.

When a public claim relies on internal CoHabby data, it must be aggregate-only and anonymous.

How updates happen

We update pages when search intent changes, product capabilities change, or fresher data materially improves the answer. For major updates, dates and supporting context should change with the page.

These supporting pages exist so the public site is clear about who writes, how claims are made, and how updates happen.
