A blogger sends the published URL. The brand sees its product name and marks the work complete, then discovers that the purchase link points to an old page and the sponsorship explanation is hard to find.

Review the content, reader-visible sponsorship explanation and links separately. Check the actual published page, not just a screenshot or editor draft. A link's technical relationship attribute and a disclosure visible to readers need separate checks.

## Define the review before publication

Agree the product, content scope, destinations, publication page and sponsorship explanation that need review. The visible description should reflect the real relationship. Confirm wording and placement for the actual market and applicable requirements.

Give each link a purpose and complete destination. Product information, purchasing and downloads may require different pages. Include agreed tracking parameters in the approved version rather than requesting a generic “brand link.”

OneCrew is an AI workspace for creator information, partnership records and email. Give the AI connected to OneCrew the confirmed brief and link list. Have it read the existing partnership table before organizing preview references, destinations, reviewers and open items. Update the same record when the published URL arrives.

## Visible disclosure and link attributes serve different purposes

A visible sponsorship explanation communicates the relationship to readers. The `rel` attribute on a link describes its relationship to the destination for search engines and is generally not visible to readers.

[Google Search Central recommends](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/qualify-outbound-links?ref=blog.onecrewai.io) `rel="sponsored"` for advertisements and paid placements. It still accepts `nofollow` for this purpose. That attribute does not replace a reader-visible sponsorship explanation or guarantee rankings or sales.

| Review item         | Practical check                                                  | Evidence to retain                               |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Content version     | Read product facts, conditions and materials on the live page    | URL, review date and specific revision locations |
| Visible explanation | Inspect the actual wording and position on phone and desktop     | Text and page location                           |
| Destinations        | Follow every agreed link and check the final page and parameters | Link position, destination and differences       |
| Paid-link attribute | Inspect the actual element's rel, or ask the site owner          | Specific link and confirmation                   |

![Visible sponsorship wording, link destination and the rel attribute are checked separately.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2d/ee/2deeacfe-d870-4a0c-a406-95a0ad33ad67/content/images/2026/10/sponsored-blog-delivery-review-body-en-20261007.png)

Review the visible explanation and link relationship separately.

## Check what was actually published

Open the article under its agreed visibility conditions. Check names, models and images against the approved draft. Follow each destination rather than relying only on the address shown before a click; redirects can change the final page or parameters.

Use browser developer tools to inspect the relevant `<a>` element, or ask the site owner to supply its actual configuration. Putting the word “sponsored” into the visible anchor text is not the same as setting a link attribute. Recheck the page after a change instead of treating “fixed” as evidence.

Confirm the disclosure against the actual relationship and applicable requirements. This is a delivery-review method, not a universal disclosure wording for every market. Have the person responsible for that market resolve uncertain wording before sending a specific revision.

In OneCrew, retain the findings with content, disclosure and link issues separated. Use the existing correspondence to prepare a concrete revision draft, identifying the location, observed issue and requested change. “Please improve SEO” does not tell the blogger what needs fixing.

## A publication review email

> Hi \[Name\], we reviewed \[published article URL\]. Please update the following: the link at \[location\] currently reaches \[observed destination\], while the agreed destination is \[full URL\]; the sponsorship explanation needs the approved \[wording and position\]; and please check the relationship attribute for \[specific paid link\]. Content revisions, if any, are \[specific items\]. Let us know when complete so we can recheck the page.

Before saving the draft in OneCrew, check which requests were agreed. Additional links, content or usage require a change discussion. After review, record the final page and findings, then recheck affected items if the page changes later.

For shortened links or redirects, use the [creator tracking-link check](https://blog.onecrewai.io/en/creator-tracking-link-preflight/) to retain each address layer and the agreed reporting definition.

Start in OneCrew with one sponsored article being delivered. List the page, visible explanation and individual links separately. A checkable publication is a stronger completion record than a message saying “it's live.”
