Advertising and sponsorship
SynquUp accepts advertising and sponsorship to keep its tools free. Paid content is always labeled. Sponsors never pay for search order, and we never sell or share your health searches.
Our promises
Sponsors pay a set fee for a set time and place. Sponsorships are never paid per lead, per referral, per click, per call, per enrollment, or per sale, and sponsors can never buy ranking or search order. SynquUp does not accept per-click, per-lead, or per-sale compensation for items or services payable by Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal health programs.
Search results, the order of results, and “verified” labels cannot be bought. Ads sit in their own labeled box, outside results.
Every paid item says “Sponsored,” “Advertisement,” or “Sponsored study” at the top, where you see it first.
No ad trackers. We do not share who searched, what you searched, your ZIP code, or anything about your health with sponsors. Sponsors only get totals, like how many times an ad was shown.
Sponsors cannot write, review, or change SynquUp’s health education, Health Hubs, or search tools.
An ad is not a SynquUp recommendation. SynquUp does not certify any sponsor’s quality.
What the labels mean
| Label | What it means |
|---|---|
| Sponsored | Paid advertisement. The sponsor paid for this spot. It does not change search results, and SynquUp does not endorse it. |
| Advertisement | Paid ad. SynquUp does not share your searches or health information with advertisers. |
| Sponsored content | An article or guide a sponsor paid for. It says who wrote it. Talk with your care team before making health choices. |
| Supported by [Sponsor] | The sponsor helps fund the page. They did not write or review the health information. |
| Sponsored study | Paid advertisement for a research study. The study team decides who can join. Ask your doctor first. |
| Sponsored by [Manufacturer] | An ad provided by a drug maker, with links to full Prescribing Information and Important Safety Information. |
| Paid link | SynquUp may earn money if you buy through this link (non-health products only; never for health services or items covered by Medicare or Medicaid). |
| Content by SynquUp | SynquUp content licensed to another organization for education only. Not medical advice. |
Extra rules by sponsor type
Plan ads link to the plan’s own site. SynquUp does not collect your information for plans or enroll you in a plan. For unbiased help comparing Medicare plans, contact your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), Medicare.gov, or 1-800-MEDICARE.
Drug ads are written and approved by the maker and include safety information. Manufacturer savings programs usually cannot be used with Medicare, Medicaid, or other government insurance. Ads never appear inside medication savings results.
A provider ad is not a referral or a recommendation. Addiction treatment advertisers must hold LegitScript certification. Crisis information (988 and 911) always comes before any ad.
Medicare-covered equipment usually needs a doctor’s order. SynquUp never gives your name or phone number to a supplier.
Study ads use wording approved by the study’s ethics board (IRB) and show the ClinicalTrials.gov number. The study team decides who can join.
Opioid pain medicines (ads for naloxone and other overdose-reversal medicines are welcome), cannabis, tobacco or vaping, unapproved “cure” or weight-loss claims, payday or predatory lending, and firearms.
