Editorial Policy

MetalView publishes live metal price hubs, practical buying guides, and educational market explainers for Indian readers. Our goal is to help people interpret benchmark prices carefully, not to sensationalise daily moves or dress a thin rate widget as a newsroom.

We focus on content that helps readers understand purity, pricing units, local quote structure, taxes, fabrication or making charges, and the trade-offs behind a visible rate. Typical pieces include how to read a gold jewellery bill, when silver's per-kg rate matters for jewellery versus investment, and how industrial metals differ from retail precious-metal shopping.

We also publish trust pages—About, Methodology, Corrections, Privacy, and Terms—so readers and reviewers can see how the product is built, who it is for, and how to challenge a claim.

Topic selection starts from real reader jobs: comparing a dealer quote, choosing between 22K and 24K, deciding whether to buy jewellery or coins, or tracking copper for business planning. We prefer explainers that answer a concrete decision over keyword-only pages that restate the same rate in many URLs.

Before publishing a new guide or blog post, we check whether an existing MetalView page already covers the same intent. If it does, we expand or refresh that page instead of creating a near-duplicate. That keeps the indexed catalogue smaller and more useful.

Articles and guides are prepared by the MetalView Editorial Desk and reviewed by the MetalView Research Desk before publication or major refreshes. Review focuses on clarity, consistency with our live-rate product, unit correctness (gram vs 10g vs kg), and whether the page gives useful real-world context instead of repeating obvious facts.

For time-sensitive pages, we prioritise accurate framing over overconfident predictions. When a page involves market trends, we describe drivers and scenarios rather than giving personal financial instructions or "buy now" language.

Major refreshes update examples, tax or hallmarking references where relevant, and internal links to the current metal hubs and guide catalogue. Cosmetic rewrites alone are not treated as a full editorial refresh.

Primary readers are jewellery buyers, household savers tracking gold or silver, students and professionals learning how Indian metal quotes work, and small businesses that need a quick copper or industrial-metal reference. Secondary readers include dealers and researchers who want a clean public benchmark plus plain-English context.

We write in accessible English for an India audience (INR units, common carat labels, GST and making-charge realities). We do not assume every reader already knows the difference between a benchmark rate and a retail invoice.

We aim to keep our content practical, plain-English, and decision-useful. We do not promise that a benchmark price equals the final payable amount. We try to make billing structure, product differences, and local market factors clear whenever they are material to a decision.

We do not sell guaranteed editorial outcomes or paid rankings dressed as independent advice. If a page mentions cities, markets, or buying considerations, the purpose is to help readers compare options more carefully.

Advertising, if shown, is separate from editorial judgement. Sponsored placements or affiliate relationships, if introduced later, will be disclosed on the relevant pages.
