Guidelines For Submitting A Review
Effective Date March 21, 2019
We value your contributions and encourage you to interact with pros! We also want to make sure that ProRinger is a safe and trustworthy source for local home services by gathering real reviews, advice and information about the professionals using ProRinger. To help us with this goal, we ask that you abide by the following rules for reviews:
Non-Commercial
We do not allow reviews that contain links or content solely included for promotional purposes. Any violation of this rule may result in immediate cancellation of your account.
Relevant
Keep your reviews relevant and helpful to other homeowners looking to hire pros – keep in mind they are reading your review to understand what an experience with the business might be like. For this reason, please don’t include any personal opinions about politics, ethics, religion or wider social issues. If you have a question or comment for ProRinger about our moderation policies, you can contact us.
Unbiased
Reviews are most helpful when they provide unbiased advice. We don't allow individuals or entities who own or are affiliated with a pros service to post reviews of their business or competing establishments. Reviews submitted in an attempt to blackmail a listing may result in immediate cancellation of the users account and all reviews subject to removal. If you suspect a review is fake or doesn't meet ProRinger’s posting guidelines, you can use the “Report” feature located at the top of each review.
First-Hand
Our community wants to hear about your experience. This means no second-hand information, rumors, or quotations from other sources. Please, only provide reviews based on substantial experiences you’ve had and be sure to include enough detail in your review that other homeowners will find your advice helpful.
Easy to Read
Add details about your experience with the professional you are reviewing. Proof read and double check your grammar before you submit the review. All reviews are final once submitted.
Listed on ProRinger
Reviews must relate directly to the professional to which it is submitted, so please ensure you are submitting your content to the correct pro listings on ProRinger.
Recent
To keep content fresh for our readers, we ask that you stick to writing about experiences that occurred within the current calendar year or up to two calendar years prior.
Written after project completion
We kindly ask that you write about your experiences after your project has been completed. To help ensure authenticity in our reviews, we currently limit the number of times a user can review a pro in a given amount of time.
Verifiable by the name
To help ensure authenticity in our reviews, your name will appear next to your review. Pros are given the opportunity to respond to every review.
Can be documented by homeowner
If a professional confirms that the reviewer was a client/customer, we may send the reviewer a request for documentation. This is simply to ensure that the correct pro is credited for your review.
