Inspired by Google’s PageRank, VRank is a simplified yet effective internal system designed to evaluate and rank local businesses based on credibility, community sentiment, and digital presence.
1. How the VRank Algorithm Works
The VRank algorithm operates through four analytical stages to calculate the VRank (VR) Score for each business or local place.
(1) Data Aggregation
Automatically collects and consolidates information from multiple online sources, including:
-
Official business websites
-
Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and Google Business
-
Forums, blogs, press releases, and user-generated reviews
(2) Metrics Evaluation
Analyzes performance indicators such as:
-
Website traffic and visibility
-
Post engagement (likes, shares, comments, video views)
-
Social media growth rate
-
Brand activity stability
(3) Social Signal Analysis
Utilizes Natural Language Processing (NLP) to interpret public sentiment via AI tools (ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Grok AI, etc.), classifying responses as positive, neutral, or negative, and assigning sentiment weights accordingly.
(4) Manual Validation
The VReview Team manually audits data to:
-
Verify accuracy and authenticity
-
Eliminate spam, fake reviews, and duplicate entries
-
Assess real brand reputation and service quality
The final VRank Score (VR) reflects a brand’s true online reputation and visibility.
2. Ranking Principles
VRank emphasizes transparency, fairness, and real value, applying the following principles:
-
Multi-platform presence priority: Businesses active on several platforms (Website, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, etc.) gain higher scores.
-
Authentic engagement over fake metrics: Detects real interactions versus artificial activity.
-
Community sentiment scoring: AI analyzes tone and emotional context of user feedback.
-
Human validation: Experts cross-check and ensure ranking fairness.
3. VRank Scoring Structure
| Component | Description | Weight (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-Platform Presence | Activity across major digital platforms (Website, Fanpage, TikTok, YouTube, etc.) | 50% |
| Engagement & Growth | Real interaction rate and growth performance | 15% |
| Sentiment Analysis | Positive user perception across networks and forums | 15% |
| Manual Verification | Expert review by VReview team | 20% |
Final VRank Score = (Aggregated Data × Weight × Sentiment × Human Verification) -> Generates an objective, transparent, and credible ranking for every brand.
