Customer Recommendations

Customers can recommend businesses that do a good job, or not recommend them by giving them a thumbs up or a thumbs down.

We prevent businesses from recommending themselves and inflating their own rating, or rating other businesses poorly and so adversely affecting a competitors rating, and all ratings are logged and checked by us to prevent abuse.

Customers can also give you a satisfaction rating from 1 (Unsatisfied) to 6 (Highly Satisfied), by sliding their mouse over the star rating.
