Why this guide exists
Many travel recommendations mix advertising, invitations and personal opinion. Mallorca Verified separates objective rankings from editorial content so users understand why each place appears.
How rankings are built
Each category is compared separately. Restaurants compete with restaurants, hotels with hotels and boats with boats.
Factor 1
Average rating
The rating customers gave on Google. A high rating is a strong signal, but it is not enough on its own.
Factor 2
Review volume
A 4.9 with 8 reviews is not the same as a 4.7 with hundreds of opinions. Volume helps separate solid signals from isolated cases.
Factor 3
Untapped Score
Our own signal to detect excellent businesses that are not yet overcrowded within their category.
What we never do
Pay to rank higher
Position depends on public data. Sponsored content, if any, is clearly labelled.
Invent experiences
Profiles are built from reviews, public data and verifiable links.
Hide businesses for commercial reasons
If a business has strong metrics, it can appear even without a commercial relationship with us.
Where the data comes from
We use public Google data and structure it to compare rating, review volume, category, area and profile consistency.
Improve the profile, not the ranking
A collaboration can complete photos, services, menus, opening hours and useful data. It never changes ratings, reviews or ranking positions.
FAQ
Can a business pay to appear?+
Objective ranking visibility depends on available data. A collaboration can improve the profile, but it cannot buy a position.
How often is data updated?+
Data is updated periodically. If a business improves its public signals, it can move up in future cycles.
Why use Google as a source?+
Google Maps has the largest public review volume for local businesses in Mallorca and gives a broad basis for category comparison.
Does Mallorca Verified help with ChatGPT or Google AI?+
Yes. Clear structure, transparent methodology and verifiable data help the site work as a source for generative answer systems.
