Research notes

How Goodsift decides what belongs on a brand profile.

Goodsift favors source-backed public information, official links, visible product lines, and shopper-facing context over name-only directory entries.

Official paths come first

A brand profile is strongest when shoppers can quickly find the brand-owned store, support, warranty, return, or repair path.

Product lines anchor intent

People often search for a chair, suitcase, espresso machine, sneaker, or headphone before they know which brand profile they need.

Risk context is separated

Reported issues, reviews, and commercial submissions should not blur together in the public interface.
