How Supplier Ranking Works
Four labels appear across the directory and they mean four different things.
Verified
The Verified badge confirms that selected identity and business information was reviewed by YachtChef.life on the displayed date. It is not a guarantee of products, prices, availability, delivery performance or ongoing regulatory compliance.
Featured
Paid enhanced profile exposure. It changes how prominently a profile is presented — nothing else.
Sponsored
Paid advertising placement, always labelled directly beside the result. Advertising is never presented as an independent recommendation.
Recommended
Displayed based on declared relevance criteria, not payment.
Ranking factors
- The location you selected
- The category you requested
- Relevance to your search
- Verification status
- Profile completeness
- Paid placement
Paying for advertising never improves a supplier's feedback score and never grants Verified status.
