Put your lab in front of researchers who are already comparing suppliers
PepGuru readers arrive with intent — they are running reconstitution math, reading COAs, and deciding where to order. We review vendor applicants before acceptance, and we keep sponsored exposure strictly separate from editorial ratings, comparisons, and tier placement.
The short version
- Standard partnership is $500/month with a three-month initial commitment, plus the agreed affiliate commission.
- Premium placements are limited and priced by placement, duration, exclusivity, traffic, and content scope.
- Fees buy exposure, content production, reporting, and maintenance — not a favourable review, guaranteed inclusion, or a tier.
What a partnership includes
A dedicated supplier page
Your own review page covering testing, documentation, catalogue, and policies — written to the same standard as every other page on the site.
A discount-code page
Your code gets its own page targeting the searches researchers actually run when they are ready to order.
Placement in the shop index
Your catalogue appears in our cross-supplier product index alongside your code.
Sponsored placement and reporting
Labelled sponsored units on relevant pages, kept current, with performance reporting.
The line we do not cross
This program only has value to a vendor because readers trust the ratings. The moment money buys a tier, the ratings are worthless and so is the placement. So the rule is simple and permanent: tier placement and review conclusions are determined by documentation and testing signals only. Independent third-party COAs rank above in-house claims. A paying partner that stops publishing current batch documentation drops in tier, and we will not remove that assessment on request.
Every sponsored placement is labelled as sponsored, and affiliate relationships are disclosed on every page carrying a supplier link. Our full scoring method is published in the vetting standards guide.

Partnership FAQ
Does a partnership buy a better tier or a good review?
No, and this is not negotiable. Partnership fees buy sponsored placement, content production, reporting, and maintenance. Tier placement and review conclusions are set by documentation and testing signals — independent third-party COAs rank above in-house claims regardless of who is paying. If a paying partner loses its testing documentation, it drops.
What does the standard partnership cost?
Standard vendor partnership pricing is $500 per month with a three-month initial commitment, plus the agreed affiliate commission. Premium placements are limited and priced individually by placement, duration, exclusivity, traffic, and content scope.
What do I actually get?
Sponsored placement across relevant pages, a dedicated supplier page and discount-code page, inclusion in the product shop index, content production and upkeep, and performance reporting. Every sponsored placement is labelled.
Who gets accepted?
We accept selectively. Applicants should be able to provide current batch certificates of analysis, clear shipping and replacement policies, contactable support, and honest product labelling with no medical or curative claims.
How is sponsored content disclosed?
Clearly and every time. Sponsored placements are labelled as sponsored, and our affiliate relationships are disclosed on every page that carries a supplier link. Readers should always be able to tell what is paid and what is editorial.
