Our publishing standard

Clarity, usefulness, sourcing and independence

These principles guide how SaudiWelcome creates, reviews and updates content.

Core editorial principles

Write for real pilgrim needs before search engines.
Keep one clear home for each major topic.
Distinguish religious education from personal religious rulings.
Use official sources for changing administrative requirements.
Show dates and status where freshness matters.
Correct or archive outdated information rather than hiding it.
Keep sponsorship and partner relationships clearly labeled.

What we avoid

Rumors and unsourced breaking claims.
Copied or low-value SEO filler.
Fake statistics or invented authority.
Hidden advertising.
Presenting SaudiWelcome as a government or religious authority.

Corrections and updates

When material information changes, SaudiWelcome should review the affected page, update the relevant date or status and preserve a clear distinction between current and superseded information where necessary.

Commercial independence

Partners may receive clearly labeled visibility, but payment should never purchase a factual conclusion, official-source update or religious position.
