Is Ph Guide free to use?

Yes, Ph Guide is 100% free for users. You can browse rankings, compare prices, read reviews, and contact businesses at no cost. We never charge consumers. Our revenue comes from verified business listings and featured placements, which are always clearly labeled so you know what's sponsored and what's editorially ranked.

Ph Guide is operated by an independent editorial team based in Metro Manila. Our editors verify every listing, visit businesses, and cross-check pricing. We are not owned by any service provider, franchise, or real estate group, which keeps our rankings unbiased and trustworthy.

How is Ph Guide different from Google Maps or Facebook?

Google Maps shows every business; Ph Guide shows only the best. We rank businesses by quality, pricing, verified reviews, and editor site visits — not by who pays the most for ads. Every category has a curated Top 10, so you save hours of research and avoid low-quality listings.

How does Ph Guide rank services?

Ph Guide ranks services using four factors: editor site visits, verified customer reviews, transparent pricing, and service quality consistency. Each business is scored from 0–100. We update rankings monthly. Sponsored placements are always labeled "Featured" and kept separate from editorial rankings, so our Top 10 lists reflect real merit.

Are reviews on Ph Guide verified?

Yes. Every review on Ph Guide goes through verification before publication. We check for duplicate accounts, fake reviewers, and businesses that try to plant reviews. Reviews from actual bookings through our platform are marked "Verified Booking" for extra trust.

Can businesses pay to rank higher on Ph Guide?

No. Businesses cannot buy editorial rankings on Ph Guide. Paid placements are labeled "Featured" or "Sponsored" and appear in separate sections. Our Top 10 editorial rankings are based purely on quality, price, reviews, and site visits — never payment.

How often are rankings updated?

Rankings are updated monthly. Deals, prices, and promotions are updated daily. Newly opened businesses are added within 14 days of our editorial review.
