Shadower relies on a rating system to provide users with new potential shadowing opportunities. It is imperative that you maintain a high rating for a number of reasons:

• Trust and safety:

  Users are much more likely to shadow you if you have a higher rating with multiple positive reviews.

• Qualified expert list:

  When users first visit the homepage, they will see the qualified experts near their location.

• Maintaining good standing:

  If you receive too many negative ratings and reviews, you will receive an alert and, if desired, assistance to bring your profile or session up to standards. If the negative ratings continue, your profile may be suspended or removed entirely.

Besides showing site visitors the highest-rated experts nearby, Shadower also uses an algorithm to rank the most popular shadowing profiles nearby. This algorithm is based on:

• Your ratings:

  We look at your overall ratings, as well as your recent ratings.

• Your number of bookings:

  We look at your overall number of bookings, as well as your recent number of bookings.

• Your number of profile favorites:

  We look at how many people have favorited your profile overall, as well as how many have favorited it recently.

• Your profile views:

  We look at how many people have looked at your profile recently.
