What’s your cancellation policy?

Renewals to annual accounts may be canceled, but unused portions of the current annual contract are non-refundable. You'll be able to use your account until the paid period expires.


Reviews and Rating Process

The review process begins when a General User or Vendor visits your profile and clicks on "Write a Review."

Vendor Profile


  • Service categories you select (e.g. Advertising, Branding, and Design) become available for users to score. Reviewers are not required to score every service.

    Review Service Categories

  • Reviewers are required to write a review between 15 and 999 characters.

    Review Comment

  • The reviewer must select one of three recommendation choices.

    Recommendation

    Once you’ve received three reviews, your recommendation score will appear on your public profile.

    Reviews


After the user hits the "Submit" button:

  • You’ll receive an email about a review being reviewed by MarTech.Health administrators.

  • An admin will ensure the review meets our standards before publishing.

  • Once the review is approved, you’ll be notified via email and the review will become visible in your admin area and on your public profile.


What reviews look like on your public profile.

Once you get your first review, a “Reviews” tab will appear on your public profile with the most recent review at the top.

Not Anonymous Review

Reviewers who want to remain anonymous will have their organization type noted.

Anonymous Review

Below that, you’ll see their review. To the right, you’ll see an overall rating calculated by averaging the ratings for your services. Below that, you’ll see the ratings for each service.


Managing Reviews and Replying

Once logged in, a quick link at the top of the page appears under your username to “My Reviews."

My Reviews Quick Link

You can also access it from your admin panel under “Manage Reviews."

My Reviews Admin Panel

The most current review will be at the top.

Reviews with a light orange background are pending admin approval.

Pending Reviews

Approved reviews have a white background and you’ll be able to write a public reply.

Approved Reviews

You’ll see the name of the reviewer and their organization for each review. You’ll see if they’ve requested anonymity. Next, you’ll see your overall rating and breakdown for each service. To the right, you’ll see their review. You’ll be able to reply in the box provided. You may only leave one reply per review and edit as needed.

Remember, you’ll always see their name and organization name in your admin panel, so do not post any personal information in your reply if the review is anonymous.
