Editorial Standards

QuoteYeti exists to help consumers find insurance that fits their actual situation. We can only do that if our editorial work is honest, sourced, and free of carrier influence. This page documents how we work.

Editorial independence

Carrier partnerships do not influence our rankings, scores, or recommendations. Period.

We earn referral compensation when readers request quotes through our partner network — that’s how we keep the lights on. But the editorial team is structurally separated from the partnership team, and partnership status is not a factor in our scoring methodology. A carrier paying us more does not move up the rankings. A carrier paying us less does not move down. We have turned down partnerships from carriers we ranked poorly, and we have continued to rank highly carriers we have no partnership with.

If you ever find evidence that we’ve violated this principle, email editor@quoteyeti.com and we will investigate publicly.

Our methodology

Every ranking and review on QuoteYeti is built from a documented scoring rubric. The weighting varies by vertical — for auto insurance, we weight cost at 60%, customer experience at 30%, and coverage breadth at 10%. For health insurance, we weight network quality, plan design, and customer experience differently. The exact weights are published on each vertical’s methodology page.

Data sources include:

• Rate filings from state Departments of Insurance
• J.D. Power customer-satisfaction studies (where available)
• NAIC complaint indices
• AM Best financial strength ratings
• S&P Global and Moody’s financial ratings
• Carrier policy documents, public filings, and product pages

When we cite a specific figure (rate, complaint ratio, claim-satisfaction score), it comes from a primary source. We do not republish numbers we cannot verify.

How we write

Every review is drafted by an editor with insurance domain knowledge, fact-checked against the underlying data, and reviewed by a second editor before publication. We do not publish AI-generated content. We do not accept ghostwritten content from carriers. We do not publish “sponsored reviews” presented as editorial.

When we make a factual claim, we cite it. When we make a judgment call, we say so. When the data is incomplete or contested, we tell you that too.

Corrections

We make mistakes. When we do, we want to know. Email editor@quoteyeti.com with the URL and the error, and we’ll investigate. If we publish a correction, it’s noted at the top of the page with the date.

Updates

Insurance markets change constantly. Pages are reviewed at minimum every quarter, and breaking changes (rate filings, regulatory shifts, carrier exits) trigger immediate updates. The “Last updated” timestamp on each page reflects the most recent meaningful edit.
