1. About Triangle Best

Triangle Best is an independently operated website designed to help visitors and newcomers to the Raleigh–Durham–Chapel Hill area discover the best places to eat and things to do. Our recommendations are generated by a proprietary algorithm that prioritizes high ratings and trusted reviews from publicly available sources.

2. How Listings Are Selected

All listings on Triangle Best are determined by an algorithm that evaluates businesses based on aggregated ratings and trusted reviews from publicly available sources. Listings are not hand-picked, manually curated, or influenced by personal relationships. A business appears on our site only when it consistently meets the high standards set by our algorithm.

3. Sponsorships and Paid Listings

Currently, no business pays to be listed on Triangle Best. All listings are earned through algorithmic evaluation.

Triangle Best may, in the future, offer sponsorship or featured placement opportunities to businesses. Any such sponsorship will be subject to the following conditions:

• The business must first meet the same high standards defined by our algorithm. Sponsorship will not bypass or override algorithmic requirements.
• Sponsored or featured listings will be clearly identified and distinguished from organically generated listings.
• Sponsorship does not constitute an endorsement, guarantee, or verification of any business by Triangle Best.
