How RanqaScore works

RanqaScore is the public rating on every company page. Newer reviews weigh more than older ones. A few ratings alone cannot create a perfect score.

Newer reviews weigh more

Each review’s weight roughly halves every 180 days. A recent review affects the score more than one from several years ago.

When the sample is small, the result is tempered. A new page does not reach 5.0 after only a handful of ratings.

For search engines we publish the arithmetic average via Schema.org. RanqaScore is the rating visitors see on the page.

Negative reviews are not hidden. Companies cannot pay to remove ratings. The default view does not bury low scores.

RanqaScore combines a cautious baseline with a time-weighted average of published reviews (half-life 180 days) and is shown between 1.0 and 5.0.

Companies with at least 10 published reviews and a RanqaScore of 4.0 or higher receive the Recommended badge. It cannot be purchased.
