Research Brands Need A Site That Survives Review
Wise Media designs & develops premium brands, apps and websites, then runs the SEO, ads, and AI-search visibility that turn them into revenue. For research use only brands, that starts with a build that does not cost you your payment processor.
The Thing That Actually Kills Research Brands
It is almost never the product. It is the copy. One sentence implying human use, a dosage chart, a before and after photo or a testimonial describing results, and the payment processor closes the account, the ad account goes down, and the domain carries a history that follows it. Rebuilding after that costs far more than building it correctly the first time.
- Payment processors terminating over claims the site should never have made
- Ad accounts permanently disabled because of a single landing page
- No certificate of analysis on the page, so a buyer cannot verify anything
- Research use only labelling that is declared once and enforced nowhere
- Product copy written by someone who has never read a processor prohibited list

PostgresWhat Compliance Looks Like On The Page
Compliance is not a disclaimer in the footer. It is an architecture decision, and it shows up in the labelling, the copy, the checkout and the proof.
Research Use Only, Enforced Not Declared
The research use only statement has to appear on the product, in the cart, at checkout and in the order confirmation, not once at the bottom of the homepage. Attestation at checkout is the step most brands skip, and it is the one that matters when the account gets reviewed.
Certificates Of Analysis, Per Batch
A certificate of analysis a buyer can pull per product and per batch, with a lot number that matches what actually shipped, is the single strongest trust asset a research brand has. It is also the clearest thing separating you from the brands that disappear after six months.
Copy That Keeps Your Processor
No dosing. No protocols. No human outcomes. No testimonials describing results. We write product and category copy against the prohibited content lists the processors and ad platforms actually enforce, so the site reads as a credible supplier rather than a liability.
Age Gating And Jurisdiction Rules
Age verification, jurisdiction restrictions and shipping rules enforced at the cart, rather than suggested somewhere in the terms where nobody reads them.
What You Get
Research Use Only, Enforced
The RUO statement has to appear on the product, in the cart, at checkout and in the confirmation, with attestation at checkout. That last step is the one most brands skip and the one that matters when the account gets reviewed.
Copy That Keeps Your Processor
No dosing, no protocols, no outcomes, no testimonials. Written against the lists processors actually enforce.
A COA Per Batch
Lot number lookup that matches what shipped. The clearest signal you are not one of the brands that disappears.
ShopifyBuilt On Platforms That Will Keep You
A compliant checkout with age gating and jurisdiction rules enforced at the cart, subscriptions and reorder flows, and a wholesale path kept separate from retail.
Category Depth That Ranks
Product and category pages written to rank and to survive review at the same time, which is the constraint most agencies in this space ignore until the account is gone.
Build It Once
Rebuilding after a termination costs far more than building it correctly.
