Ranking Integrity Policy
Our commitment to fair, independent, and unpurchasable rankings.
Rankings Cannot Be Purchased
AutiVex maintains strict independence between our advertising business and our ranking algorithms. No amount of money can improve a company's rating, ranking position, or review visibility.
Our Key Principles
No Paid Rankings
Companies cannot pay to improve their position in search results, Top 10 lists, or category rankings. All placements are earned through customer satisfaction.
Independent Ratings
Trust Scores and Rank Scores are calculated using transparent algorithms based solely on verified customer reviews and objective metrics.
Transparent Methodology
Our rating methodology is publicly documented. Anyone can understand how scores are calculated and what factors influence rankings.
Separate Systems
Advertising and lead generation programs are completely separate from our ranking algorithms. Participating in these programs provides no ranking benefit.
