Who can suggest an edit to a vendor profile on ABA Rank?

Anyone can suggest an edit — clinic owners, BCBAs, RBTs, parents, journalists, and the public. Submissions are reviewed by the ABA Rank editorial team against the same correction standards regardless of who submitted them. The submitter email is collected only so the team can ask follow-up questions; it is not published with the corrected profile.

What kinds of corrections does ABA Rank accept?

The form covers the twelve fact fields most likely to drift: vendor name, tagline, description, website URL, LinkedIn / Facebook / Twitter / Instagram URL, HQ city, HQ state, founded year, and employee band. For corrections to ranking inputs (service lines, payor coverage, certifications, outcomes data), the vendor team should claim the profile at /claim/new — those fields are owner-edited rather than submitted through the public correction queue.

How long does review of a suggested edit take?

Most suggested edits are reviewed within five to seven days of submission. Edits that change a fact already cited on the public website (a website URL, an HQ city, an LinkedIn handle) move faster than edits that require a back-channel source check. Reviewed edits flow into the next nightly rerank pass, so accepted corrections can affect a profile’s ranking inputs within a day of acceptance.

What is the difference between /suggest-edit, /claim/new, and /suggest-vendor?

Three different flows for three different actions: /suggest-edit corrects a fact on a profile that is already on the site, /claim/new verifies vendor ownership and unlocks the full set of editable fields, and /suggest-vendor submits a vendor that is not yet on the site. Vendors that want sustained control over their profile should claim it; vendors that want a single fact corrected should use /suggest-edit.

Can a vendor request that its own profile be edited or removed?

A vendor employee can request a single fact correction through /suggest-edit, but the editorial team strongly prefers vendors claim the profile at /claim/new — claimed profiles unlock 27 editable fields and a direct line to moderation. Removal requests for active U.S. ABA vendors are declined; ABA Rank is an editorial directory and inclusion is not opt-in. Defunct vendors and demonstrably out-of-market vendors are removed on request.

What sources does the ABA Rank editorial team accept for a correction?

Public, primary sources are weighted highest: the vendor’s own public website, an SEC or state-business filing, a BACB credential lookup, a press release, or a court filing. Secondary sources (news coverage, industry directories, social profiles) are accepted when they corroborate a primary source. Anonymous or unverifiable claims are not used to overwrite published facts; the editorial team will follow up by email rather than silently accept them.

Is there a cost to suggest an edit on ABA Rank?

No. Submitting a correction is free and does not require an account or login. The form is open to anyone with a working email address — and the email is optional, included only so the editorial team can ask a follow-up question. ABA Rank does not charge vendors to fix errors and does not accept payment to remove or alter facts.
