Methodology

Rated Products uses a data-driven ranking methodology designed to surface products that are both in demand and consistently performing well across major marketplace signals.

Rather than relying on editorial opinion or one-off reviews, our rankings combine multiple data points to reflect current buyer behaviour, pricing trends, and overall product reliability.

Signals We Use

Our ranking system evaluates a combination of the following signals:

• Sales Momentum & Recent Volume — Products showing sustained sales activity and consistent buyer interest over time are weighted more strongly than items experiencing short-term spikes.
• Buyer Ratings & Review Density — We consider overall customer ratings alongside review volume, helping to distinguish widely purchased products from those with limited feedback.
• Pricing Trends & Value for Money — Live pricing and recent price changes are factored in to highlight products offering competitive value relative to similar items in the same category.
• Availability & Seller Reliability — Product availability and seller performance indicators are used to reduce the likelihood of ranking items with frequent stock issues or unreliable fulfilment patterns.

What We Avoid

To maintain ranking integrity, Rated Products does not use:

• Paid placements or sponsored re-ordering
• Manual manipulation of ranking positions
• Short-term anomalies that lack sustained demand
• Isolated data points taken out of context

Brands cannot pay to influence how products are ranked or where they appear within a list.

Ranking Updates

Product lists are refreshed regularly as new data becomes available. As pricing, demand, and availability change, rankings may move to reflect the most current marketplace conditions.

This approach helps ensure that lists remain relevant, timely, and useful for shoppers comparing products today — not months ago.
