Merchant Service Providers Recognize Merchant Maverick Ratings
I’m happy to see that merchant account providers are beginning to take Merchant Maverick’s ratings seriously. I think that as I refine and better my reviews, that trend will continue.
Up until now, TopTenReviews and the BBB have been the only two review and mediation platforms by which to judge an MSP, and from what I’ve seen, neither of them are a complete online reputation solution. Although I use the BBB as part of my reviewing process, I think that as stand-alone services, both TTR and the BBB have their flaws. I’m hoping that I can solve those problems with my site.
I’m not saying that Merchant Maverick is perfect by any means, but by solely focusing on the payment processing industry, I have a much better chance at painting the whole picture.
With that said, I encourage other merchant service providers to embrace Merchant Maverick as another, better, online reputation management channel. I’ve already noticed a couple ISO/MSPs that have proudly displayed their 5 star ratings, including:
More to come. I’ll add them here, as I find them. 🙂
I think it would be very helpful branding wise if you displayed your logo as the name of your site instead of using text. I thought you had a very nice, professional, clean looking logo. Be proud of it and show it off by using it as your logo at the top.
I believe MM does the best job out there for this industry. I do not think it is fair to you to compare your site to the two you mentioned as your site is completely dedicated to this industry with 10 times more reviews. You have reviewed countless providers, which many of them do not receive great rankings. You review a company before their are any financial ties to it. You reviewed us and we never heard of your site until then. By reading some of your content and reviews, you really seem to know this industry very well. You knew facts that I’m sure many agents in this business selling this service do not even know, such as this company was purchased by this company years back, then sold to these guys, etc. You seem to be investing a lot of time and work into this and I hope it pays off for you at some point in time.
