The MerchantCircle Reputation Score is your gate to managing your online reputation. By running the Reputation Score Report you can gather all the online information (contact, reviews, ratings, and more) about your business. The Score itself is calculated by factoring in the accuracy of your contact information as compared to your MerchantCircle account, the percentage of online reviews from third party sites like Yahoo Local!, Citysearch, and the Yellow Pages, and the content like blogs, coupons, newsletters, and ads you create on MerchantCircle. Good reviews, correct contact information, and creating ads, blogs, newsletters, and coupons all help raise your score.
We conduct searches known as scrapes of Yellow Pages Online, Yahoo! Local, Verizon's Superpages, etc., periodically. Sometimes it takes time to update this information. Other times, if the listing is different, even a minor difference, our search 'crawler' will not pick-up the listing.
