What the Recommended badge means

Recommended appears when a company has at least 10 published reviews and a RanqaScore of 4.0 or higher. It cannot be purchased or paid for separately from genuine ratings.

The badge is computed from live RanqaScore and review count — the same recency-weighted score visitors see. Details: https://ranqa.me/score.

Merchants raise eligibility only by collecting authentic reviews (including critical ones) through fair invites and organic traffic. Selective invites to happy customers only are prohibited.

Recommended is separate from Verified customer (per-review badge) and from Schema AggregateRating. Example profiles with volume: https://ranqa.me/nutri and https://ranqa.me/tigoo.com.

FAQ

Can I buy Recommended?
No. Only published reviews and RanqaScore determine the badge.
Why does a 5-star shop lack Recommended?
Fewer than 10 published reviews, or RanqaScore below 4.0 after tempering and recency weighting.
