About

How we make the Typelab editorial.

A short read. We're a SaaS company that publishes opinionated content about LinkedIn growth — and one of the tools we publish about is our own. That conflict deserves transparency, so here's how we actually do it.

Who writes this

The Typelab editorial is the company itself, not a single named author. Pieces are researched, drafted, and edited by Typelab's founding team and a small contract editor pool with deep B2B content backgrounds.

We don't sign individual bylines today, for two reasons. First, we're a small team and the rotation of who works on what shifts week to week. Second, we want our editorial standards to be the trust signal — not a single person's reputation.

If you ever want to talk to a real human about something we published, email hello@typelab.com — we read every reply and a real person responds within a business day.

How we test tools

Comparison pages and the annual listicle (Best LinkedIn Growth Tools 2026) follow this process:

  1. Hands-on trial. We sign up for each tool with real LinkedIn accounts (not throwaway test accounts), use it across at least 30 days, and publish at least 5 posts via that tool's composer. No vendor talking points — only what the product actually does in practice.
  2. Pricing checked at publish time. Vendor pricing changes monthly. We check every tool's pricing page within 7 days of publishing and note the date in the article. If a price is stale by more than 30 days, the methodology section flags it and we update.
  3. Honest competitor framing. We won't shit-talk competitors. Each tool gets a fair "where it wins" section that names specific features competitors objectively do better than us. Slime kills citations — both in AI search and in B2B Slack channels.
  4. Self-disclosure. Typelab is one of the tools in the listicle. Every comparison page and listicle entry makes that conflict explicit in the methodology section before discussing tradeoffs.

How we update content

The annual listicle is refreshed every Q4 with the year in the title (so by Q1 2027 it becomes “Best LinkedIn Growth Tools 2027” with the same URL slug). Pricing across the site gets a quarterly check.

Comparison pages are updated whenever a competitor ships a significant feature change. We track the major tools' changelogs and product update emails so this doesn't go stale.

When we update a piece, we bump dateModified in the page schema and add a one-line update note at the top of the article. We don't silently rewrite history.

What we won't do

We don't publish sponsored reviews. Vendors can't pay to be included in the listicle, removed from a comparison page, or rated higher.

We don't use affiliate links anywhere on this site. You'll never click a Typelab link to a competitor and find out we earned a kickback.

We don't fabricate testimonials or invent expert attribution. When we quote an industry expert, the quote is from their public LinkedIn or Twitter posts and is linked back to the source.

We don't use generative AI to write our editorial content end-to-end. AI helps with research compilation, copy editing, and draft revision — but the structure, opinions, and recommendations are written by humans on our team. (Yes, we're aware of the irony of saying this on a website that sells a voice-cloning tool. The tools we sell are for your own voice; the editorial we publish about them is ours.)

Corrections + criticism

If we got something wrong, tell us: hello@typelab.com. We'll fix it within one business day, add a correction note at the top of the affected piece, and bump thedateModified.

If you're a vendor whose product we covered and you think we got the framing wrong, same email. We won't change a tradeoff assessment to make you happy, but we will fix factual errors and we'll often quote your response in the article.
