This is how RideVerdict researches a page. Putting the method on its own URL does not change how a search engine ranks the site. Structured data does not either. The page exists so a reader can see what a score is, and what it is not.
What a score is
An editorial score out of 10 is the team's judgment. The weights on each article say what we paid attention to. The score is not a user rating, a star rating copied from another site, a lab measurement, or a count of customers.
What we read
We use the provider's own product pages, pricing pages and help documentation. When a sentence gives a price or a limit, it names the day that page was read. If a later pass could not reload the page, the older date stays next to the figure.
- Lineup fit for common uses
- Published warranty and return terms
- Service and dealer options
- Specs transparency on brand pages
- Value
What we do not do
- We do not invent hands-on tests, benchmark charts, expert quotes, or a story that we used the product.
- We do not invent commission rates, traffic statistics, or market share.
- We do not move dates forward. A date is a day the source was read.
- We do not describe the whole site as monetized. The disclosure names the affiliate links that actually exist.
Money
No affiliate links are live on this site. A commission does not change a score. A brand without an approved link is sent to its own website and labeled as not an affiliate link.
Limits
Vendor pages change. Quote-based products often have no public price we can print. We have not ridden the bikes, hosted the sites, or run the software on a production account. No page claims that we did.
