  • What is the difference between a consumer review and a support ticket?
    A consumer review is a great way to share a story, compliment or complaint with a company and fellow consumers. A support ticket is a more direct way to make a specific comment to a participating company so that they can more efficiently answer. To increase the likelihood that your comment, question or complaint is read by a company and fellow consumers is to write a review and submit a support ticket. New companies partner with MeasuredUp regularly. If you know of a great company that is not partnered with MeasuredUp please direct them to MeasuredUp.

  • What do companies and businesses think of MeasuredUp.com?
    Companies and businesses that care about and value Customer Service actually love MeasuredUp.com because it helps them stay connected to their customers as well as better understand the needs of consumers.

    Businesses that place little or no value on customer service don't like us as much. MeasuredUp.com is a resource for consumers and businesses; providing a platform for consumers to delivering complaints or praise to the companies and businesses they interact with every day and allowing businesses to respond, build their customer service brand and mange their online reputation.

  • What if a company doesn't like a review and wants it removed from the site?

Unlike negative word of mouth we actually offer your tools to reply to a customer and resolve a complaint.
