TripAdvisor has announced changes to its algorithm to better measure the stability of a business over time. This will ensure that all restaurants, large or small, have the same opportunities to be featured on TripAdvisor.
The following is the announcement of TripAdvisor
TripAdvisor is dedicated to helping customers find great restaurants. Respectively, we want the restaurants to be displayed to the customers, regardless of the size of the business. We are always looking for ways to improve this experience and, with this in mind, we are pleased to announce some important news.
Improving the way restaurants are calculated for popularity. The ranking will continue to take into account the quality, quantity and timeliness of new reviews. However, at the same time, we have improved our algorithm to better measure the stability of a business over time. This will ensure that all restaurants, large or small, have the same opportunities to be featured on TripAdvisor.
We believe that this change will help customers to have a better idea of what they can expect from all the restaurants in the world, but also to choose their next tasty destination with confidence.
These changes will take effect on March 13.
-The TripAdvisor restaurant team
