Step 04 of 4

No pay-to-rank placement

Sort orders (most reviewed, highest rated, most complete) are computed from the same fields every visitor sees. Commercial relationships with RankGlobal do not change organic position.

How It Works

The process behind this step

01
Same fields for every visitor
Sort orders — most reviewed, highest rated, most complete — are computed from the same fields every visitor sees.
02
No pay-to-rank
Commercial relationships with RankGlobal do not change organic position, ever.
03
Rankings update automatically
As new reviews or profile data are ingested, sort order recalculates without any manual reordering.
04
Sponsored is disclosed separately
If a placement is ever sponsored, it is visually labeled apart from the organic ranking, never blended into it.
What this prevents
Pay-to-rank placement
Undisclosed sponsored results
Static rankings that ignore new evidence
