How MSP Ranked reviews are verified and moderated

MSP Ranked reviews are designed to reduce anonymous or low-quality feedback. Reviewers verify a business email address, submit feedback through the review flow, and moderation happens before approved ratings affect public profile presentation.

Guide summary

Business reviewers verify their email address first, then MSP Ranked moderates submissions before ratings affect a public profile.

Reviewer verification

The review process begins by confirming that the reviewer controls a business email address.

  • The reviewer does not need to create a full MSP Ranked account to start a review.
  • The verification link helps connect the review session to the verified email address.
  • The review should be tied to a real business relationship or relevant provider experience.

Moderation before publication

Submitted reviews are reviewed before they influence public profile ratings.

  • MSP Ranked can hold, approve, or reject submissions based on moderation criteria.
  • Moderation helps protect profile quality and reduce abusive or irrelevant feedback.
  • A submitted review may not appear immediately on a public profile.

How buyers should read reviews

Reviews can add useful context but should not be the only selection criterion.

  • Compare reviews alongside profile details, service fit, and direct provider conversations.
  • Look for patterns in buyer feedback rather than relying on a single comment.
  • Ask the MSP for references when the buying decision requires deeper validation.
