What each score means
REVIEWER IDENTITY & PRIVACY
Public Review Display
Reviews are not anonymous. If a review is approved, CoachRanker may publicly display the reviewer’s first name, last initial, reviewer type, ratings, review title, and review text.
Email verification and privacy
Email verification: Reviewers must verify control of their email address before submitting a rating or written review. Reviewer email is used for verification, moderation, or contact if needed and is not displayed publicly. Email verification confirms control of the submitted inbox; it does not independently confirm that a coaching relationship occurred.
A reviewer may submit one review per coach. CoachRanker may reject or mark duplicate reviews that appear to come from the same reviewer for the same coach.
Public Name Display
CoachRanker reviews are not anonymous. Reviewers should provide their name and verification contact information. Publicly, reviews display the reviewer’s first name and last initial, such as Michael R. or Sarah M.. Reviews may also display reviewer type, ratings, review title, and review text.
Privacy ruleReviewer contact details are used for verification and moderation. They should not be displayed publicly.
What Reviews Should Cover
Reviews should focus on the coach’s actual coaching experience, teaching style, communication, value, and results.
Conflicts of Interest
Coaches cannot review themselves, submit reviews for clients, or ask someone else to post words the coach wrote. Competitors may not submit reviews primarily intended to harm another coach rather than describe a firsthand coaching experience.
CLAIMED STATUS
What Claimed Means
A claimed badge means the coach has claimed connection to the profile. CoachRanker does not currently certify, comprehensively screen, endorse, or guarantee coaches.
Not certifiedNot comprehensively screenedNot endorsedNot guaranteed
Claimed Profiles and Safety Review
Claimed profiles may be reviewed by CoachRanker as part of our identity, safety, and platform-integrity process. A claimed or reviewed profile does not mean CoachRanker has comprehensively screened or endorsed the coach.
Coach Responses
Pro coaches may respond to reviews. Responses should be professional, helpful, and focused on the coaching relationship.
Free profiles can receive reviews and claimed Free coaches can report reviews for policy review, but public coach responses require Pro.
Coaches cannot edit reviewer ratings, reviewer text, reviewer identity, or remove reviews themselves.
POLICY ENFORCEMENT
Moderation
Reviews are moderated before publication. CoachRanker may reject, remove, or hide reviews that violate this policy, including duplicate, coordinated, abusive, misleading, or identity-mismatched reviews. Flagged reviews may be reviewed again by the moderation team.
Reviews may be rejected, hidden, or removed for spam, threats, harassment, slurs, doxxing, private information, false impersonation, content about a child that should not be public, or other policy concerns.
Review Reports and Disputes
Claimed coaches may report reviews for policy review. Reporting a review does not guarantee removal, and CoachRanker may keep a review visible if it appears to comply with this policy.
CoachRanker may request additional context from a reviewer, coach, or other source, but CoachRanker does not adjudicate every factual disagreement between coaches and reviewers.
