Our editorial code.

We are committed to providing accurate, inclusive, and actionable content at Ecommerce CEO. Our editorial principles and practices guide how we source, report, write, and edit our content. We have a rigorous fact-checking process and promptly correct any errors that may arise.

The editorial team at Ecommerce CEO is made up of ecommerce and digital marketing experts, led by Darren DeMatas MBA, who has 15 years of experience in retail and online marketing. Our team includes content creators and editors with over 10 years of experience in eCommerce and online marketing.

We are not like other review websites, as our team consists of true ecommerce practitioners who are passionate about the ecommerce community. We regularly contribute to ecommerce and digital marketing publications.

Our highly-skilled editorial team meticulously manages every piece of content we publish at Ecommerce CEO. We thoroughly cover every possible angle of a topic before publishing. Our content goes through multiple phases of the editorial process, ensuring it is fact-checked and reviewed for accuracy and integrity by multiple team members.

Readers first philosophy.

We strive to provide well-researched, detailed, and easily understandable content to our audience of ecommerce entrepreneurs. To achieve this, we do not rely on generative AI tools to create our content. You can be confident that all our content is written by knowledgeable writers and thoroughly reviewed by subject matter experts. We never publish any content that contains AI-generated text or edits, and we refrain from using images or videos generated by AI technology.

Up-to-date Content

At Ecommerce CEO, we make it a priority to keep our content up-to-date. We regularly review our existing content, including original screenshots, to ensure that all information is relevant and updated.

Our fact-checking process.

Our team of writers and content creators are experts in eCommerce and are always seeking new data and market trends. They meticulously fact-check every claim in their work to ensure it’s accurate and up-to-date. Here’s how our fact-checking process works:

1. A subject matter expert provides research and resources to our writer
2. The writer conducts thorough research using those reliable sources.
3. They write the article, adding a source to every claim made.
4. The article is then submitted to a line editor for review.
5. The editor carefully checks the accuracy of the sources and claims.
6. If any claims are incorrect or can’t be validated, the article is sent back for corrections.
7. The editor and writer collaborate to ensure all claims are accurate.
8. Once everything is verified, the article is approved by the editor and ready for publication.
9. If updates are needed, the process is repeated.

Conflict of interest policy.
