They want\u00a0to make sure they connect customers with professional businesses only. This is achieved with their rating elements that include the following:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Complaint History<\/strong> &#8211; If the business in question gets too many complaints, it affects their rating. There are many factors that affect the analysis of the complaint.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Business Type<\/strong> &#8211; BBB will lower the rating if they feel the business will raise concerns in the marketplace or violate the law.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Business Timeline<\/strong> &#8211; The rating is also affected by the length of time the business has been in service.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transparency<\/strong> &#8211; A business&#8217; rating will increase if they provide complete information about their products, service, ownership and workplace conduct.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Commitment Failure<\/strong> &#8211; If a business fails to honor BBB commitments, their rating suffers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Government Actions and Licensing<\/strong> &#8211; The rating can lower if the business does not have required competency licensing or has government actions against them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Advertisement Issues<\/strong> &#8211; If the business fails to respond to BBB advertising challenges appropriately, their rating will decrease.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As a company continues to maintain these requirements, the rating will climb up the ranks. A higher rating makes the business credible and trustworthy.<\/p>\n<p>Many people looking for businesses to work with look for the BBB logo on their web page.
