REVIEW GUIDELINES

Write Reviews That Help Everyone Choose Better

VoiceRank reviews should be honest, useful, respectful and based on a real customer experience. These guidelines explain what to include, what to avoid and how published reviews help future customers and businesses.

BEFORE YOU WRITE

A Helpful Review Is Simple

Use your own experience

Only review a business you genuinely interacted with.

Be specific

Mention what happened, when it happened and what made it good or poor.

Stay respectful

Criticism is welcome, abuse and threats are not.

Protect privacy

Do not publish personal, payment or confidential information.

Avoid links and spam

Reviews are for customer feedback, not promotion or link sharing.

OUR STANDARD

Reviews Should Be Genuine, Useful and Fair

The goal is not to make every review positive. The goal is to make every review trustworthy. A strong review explains the experience clearly, avoids personal attacks and gives readers enough context to understand what happened.

Trust

Readers can rely on genuine experiences.

Detail

Reviews explain what happened and why it mattered.

Fairness

Customers and businesses can participate constructively.

RULES

Review Rules

These rules are managed from the admin panel and can be updated as the platform policy evolves.

FAIR CRITICISM

Negative Reviews Are Allowed When They Are Honest and Useful

A negative review can be valuable. It helps future customers understand risks and gives businesses a chance to respond. The line is crossed when criticism becomes abuse, threats, private information, spam or unsupported serious accusations.

Fair criticism is welcome. Harmful content is not.

Allowed: factual detail, low ratings, poor service experiences, unresolved concerns and constructive criticism.

Blocked: abuse, threats, private details, spam links, impersonation and fake or manipulated reviews.

Helpful

Constructive review

“The product quality was good, but the order arrived three days late and I did not receive a tracking update. Support replied after I followed up and apologised.”
