What we do
Tampa Bay Certified runs editorial coverage built around the businesses, people, and moments locals in Tampa Bay actually care about. Every story is grounded in a real local source.
We are not a directory, a press-release aggregator, or a national franchise dressed up in regional clothing. The team lives in the markets we cover, and our cadence reflects that: daily editorial.
Editorial standards
Editorial decisions are made independently. Paid features are labeled. How our features work. Where a story draws on other sources, we list them with links at the end. Errors get corrected with a timestamped note on the affected story.
We use AI automation to handle our processes, to generate the reading summary at the end of each article (Key facts), and to assist with the writing process. How we use AI.
