Frequently Asked Questions
How do rankings work?
Rankings are based primarily on review ratings and volume. Profiles need at least 5 approved reviews to appear in leaderboards. Equal ratings are broken by review volume, then verified partner count.
Can I improve my visibility?
Yes! Encourage your partners and clients to leave reviews. Complete your profile, get verified, and build your partner network to maximize your presence.
Why do I need 5 reviews to be ranked?
A minimum review threshold ensures rankings are meaningful. With fewer than 5 reviews, a single rating could disproportionately affect positioning.
What makes a reviewer "Verified"?
Verified reviewers have confirmed their identity through email verification and are associated with a claimed profile on the platform.
How do I get the Verified badge?
Claim your profile first (free), then upgrade to Verified to unlock the green shield badge, review responses, analytics, and priority placement.
