How To Get Found on VouchedFor

You've created your profile and started collecting reviews, but what makes one adviser profile stand out from another?

This guide explains the factors that influence how advisers appear in search results, why recent reviews matter to prospective clients, and the simple habit that helps keep your profile relevant and up to date.

When someone searches for an adviser on VouchedFor, we consider four key factors:

• Location - how close you are to the person searching.

• Star rating - your average rating across all reviews.

• Volume of reviews - the total number of reviews you've received.

• Recency of reviews - how recently those reviews were collected.

While rankings are one part of the picture, they're not the only measure of success. What matters most is creating a profile that gives prospective clients confidence in the service you provide today.

We know that consumers value recent reviews. They want confidence that the feedback they're reading reflects the experience they can expect today, not several years ago.

A profile with fresh reviews demonstrates ongoing client satisfaction and shows that you're actively engaging with clients. That's often far more meaningful to a prospective client than seeing a large number of older reviews alone.

Recent reviews can also help maintain your visibility within VouchedFor search results, but more importantly, they help build trust with the people viewing your profile.

A review received this month is often far more reassuring than one received two years ago, even if both are equally positive.

The good news is you don't need to spend hours managing review requests. The advisers who perform best typically make it part of their routine by:

• Sending a review invitation shortly after each client meeting, while the experience is still fresh.

• Setting aside ten minutes every couple of weeks to invite clients they may have missed.

Consistency is far more effective than running a large review campaign once or twice a year.

Regularly collecting reviews doesn't just help keep your profile up to date on VouchedFor.

A strong, recent set of reviews can strengthen your wider online presence, helping prospective clients find and trust you online. Fresh feedback demonstrates that you're continuing to deliver great client outcomes and gives potential clients confidence in choosing you.

The more consistently you collect reviews, the more credible and trusted you'll become wherever potential clients are looking.
