Transparency is at the heart of Web3Connect
Our ranking system prioritizes quality and merit while giving partners options to enhance their visibility. Here's exactly how it works - no secrets, no surprises.
Merit First, Pay Second
Quality Drives Rankings
Your offering's quality score (0-100) forms the foundation of your ranking. This score is based on verified reviews, profile completeness, and proven track record.
Verified Trust Matters
Every review is verified through company email and LinkedIn. Anonymous spam can't game our system - only real client feedback counts.
Visibility Multipliers
Paid visibility options provide modest multipliers (5-80% maximum) that enhance but never replace quality. A poor-quality offering can't buy its way to the top.
Your Quality Score Explained
Every offering gets a quality score from 0-100 based on four key factors:
Verified Reviews (45%)
What it measures: Average rating from verified client reviews for this specific offering
How to improve: Deliver exceptional service and invite satisfied clients to review
Example: 4.5 stars from 10 reviews = High review score
Trust Tier (25%)
What it measures: Your proven track record based on review volume
How to improve: Build your reputation over time with consistent client feedback
Profile Completeness (20%)
What it measures: How thoroughly you've completed both your offering details (10%) and partner profile (10%)
How to improve: Complete offering-specific information (features, pricing, use cases) and organization profile (company info, team, certifications)
Key areas: Offering descriptions, case studies, portfolio, company details, team profiles
Domain Authority (10%)
What it measures: Your website's credibility and online presence
How to improve: Build quality backlinks, publish thought leadership
Note: Smallest weight to prevent gaming
