Fair visibility: provider results are rotated to avoid favouring companies based on alphabetical order.Why?
CompareHQ rotates provider results to give eligible providers fair visibility, instead of ranking them alphabetically. Paid listing tiers can affect visibility as described in our Comparison methodology; within any given tier, order is rotated fairly rather than by company name. As CompareHQ develops, results may also incorporate objective matching criteria based on a buyer's requirements.
