    Madloba Rating System

    Who this page is useful for

    This page is intended for users, business owners, and partners who want to understand the principles behind how Madloba rankings are formed.
    It describes the key approaches to evaluation, data updates and verification, as well as the rules for interacting with the ranking system.

    An objective system for evaluating the best places and services in Georgia based on public data and transparent principles.

    We analyze open sources, reviews, and user behavior signals within the catalog, combining several independent factors into a single evaluation system. Rankings are regularly updated and manually checked for relevance.

    Public sources
    Google Maps, industry-specific aggregators, and open data.
    Reviews and ratings
    Analysis of user reviews across multiple platforms.
    Behavioral signals
    Search queries, views, clicks, and audience interest on Madloba.
    Manual moderation
    Quarterly data updates and verification by editors.
    Ranking positions are not for sale. Premium placement only affects the visual design of the listing card.

    What is the Madloba rating

    The Madloba rating is a composite indicator that reflects the overall evaluation of a place or service based on several independent data sources.
    It is formed using public information, user reviews, and behavioral signals from the catalog audience. We consider not a single metric, but a combination of factors that helps provide a more objective picture.
    Exact coefficients and internal calculation parameters are not published. This allows the system to remain устойчивой, neutral, and independent from attempts at external influence.
    The rating is not an advertising placement — it is the result of processing and comparing open data according to unified principles.

    What data the rating is based on

    The rating is formed on the basis of a combination of independent data sources. We do not rely on a single metric — the final score takes into account several types of signals that complement each other and help create a more objective picture.
    Below are the key data groups used in the system.

    Reviews and ratings
    Google Maps, TripAdvisor, industry-specific aggregators (Restaurant Guru, Booking, etc.). Analysis of reviews in RU / EN / KA.
    Popularity in open sources
    Mentions, review frequency, and audience activity on independent platforms.
    Interest inside the Madloba catalog
    Search queries, views, clicks on listing cards, saves and user engagement.
    Profile completeness and relevance
    Contacts, opening hours, description, photos and accuracy of the provided information.
    Editorial review
    Manual moderation, data accuracy checks and updates based on user signals.
    Dynamics and stability of indicators
    Changes in ratings over time, stability of interest and regularity of user activity.

    How often the rankings are updated

    Madloba rankings are reviewed and updated regularly. The update system is designed to take data changes into account and maintain the reliability of the information.

    Scheduled review
    Rankings undergo a comprehensive review at least once per quarter.
    Unscheduled update
    Data may be updated promptly based on a signal from a user or a business representative.
    Date of the last update
    Each ranking page shows the current date of the latest recalculation.

    Principle of transparency and advertising

    The Madloba ranking system is built on a clear separation between ranking logic and advertising formats. Commercial cooperation does not affect the order of positions in the rankings.

    Ranking positions are not for sale
    The position is determined by the evaluation system based on a combination of data, not by commercial placement.
    Premium placement does not affect the order
    Activating a premium plan does not change a company’s position in the ranking.
    Paid formats affect visuals only
    Advertising tools may affect the listing card design (badge, highlighting), but not its position.
    Participation in the ranking is possible if the listing card meets the requirements. Advertising formats and partner programs do not change the ranking principles.

    All rankings by category

    The Madloba ranking system covers the key areas of life, leisure, and infrastructure in Georgia. For each category, an adapted evaluation model is used, taking into account the specifics of the category and the types of data sources.

    How we work with data reliability

    Madloba rankings are formed with regard to the quality and consistency of data. We strive to consider only relevant and accurate signals that comply with the rules of public platforms and the principles of objective evaluation.

    Principle of data integrity

    The system does not take into account signals created for the purpose of artificially influencing the final score. If such cases are identified, the relevant data may be excluded from the calculation within the framework of the platform’s applicable rules.

    Only valid signals are considered
    The system includes data that complies with the rules and standards of public platforms.
    Questionable data may be excluded
    If contradictions or instability are detected, certain signals may be excluded from the calculation.
    A combination of independent sources is used
    When data differs, a set of factors is considered rather than a single metric.
    This approach helps maintain system stability and minimizes the impact of random or incorrect data on the final score.

    How new listings are included in the ranking

    The Madloba ranking system takes into account not only accumulated reviews within the catalog, but also data from open sources.
    New organizations may be included in the ranking based on public information presented on specialized platforms, as well as after editorial verification of data accuracy. This helps reflect the current market picture even if there are no user reviews in the catalog yet.
    As new ratings and signals appear within the system, an organization’s position is reviewed according to the general principles of ranking formation.

    New listings in the ranking
    An organization may be included in the ranking based on open data and editorial verification, even if there are no user reviews in the catalog yet. As new signals accumulate, the position is reviewed within the framework of the overall evaluation system.

    Feedback and transparency

    We strive to maintain the relevance and accuracy of data in the rankings. If you have found an inaccuracy or would like to suggest an information update, you can contact us.
