Board rules

The Board is a public leaderboard. Rank is decided by total amount paid — nothing else. It is not an editorial pick, a certification, a recommendation, or an independent ranking, and it has no relationship to portfolio quality, review scores, or our approval decisions.

What’s different here

Anyone can pay — a client, a friend, a stranger. No account needed. The unit on the board is a pro, not a link. A pro’s score is the sum of everything everyone has paid for them.

A pro may also pay for themselves. It counts exactly the same as anyone else paying for them.

How ranking works

  • Minimum $10 / CN¥10 per payment, whole units only, maximum $999,999 / CN¥7,000,000. The currency follows the language of the page you pay on — English pays in USD, Chinese in CNY.
  • A pro’s score is the sum of all completed payments for them. Cumulative, never expires.
  • Taking #1 for someone costs at least (current #1 total − their total + $5 / CN¥5). Checkout shows you that number — you don’t have to work it out.
  • Paying less still puts them on the board at whatever rank that total supports.
  • Equal totals: whoever got there first keeps the higher rank.
  • Payments in different currencies are converted at the current rate before ranking; we do not store the rate at the time of payment. Exchange-rate moves can swap adjacent positions.
  • The board can be viewed worldwide, by country, or by city. Which market a pro counts in is decided by the city they are in now — if they move, they move boards.

Who can be on the board

  • Only approved, live pros can receive payments.
  • Every live pro is on the board by default. A pro can turn off “can be backed” in their dashboard at any time, and their entry disappears from the board immediately.
  • If a pro opts out, money already paid is not refunded. You are told this before you pay.
  • The same applies if a pro is unpublished or suspended: the entry disappears, no refund.

After you pay

  • The entry goes live and becomes public as soon as payment is confirmed.
  • All payments are final. Being outranked later, fewer clicks than you hoped for, the pro opting out, or downtime do not create a refund. See the Refund Policy.
  • You may stay anonymous. Your name is then hidden on the board, but we keep the record for disputes.
  • Messages are public. Abusive messages, contact details, sexual or illegal content are removed without refund.

What a payment buys and does not buy

A payment buys the rank that amount can take at the moment it is confirmed. It does not buy traffic, clicks, customers, bookings, a fixed duration at a specific rank, search-engine ranking, or any particular outcome. Anyone can pay more and outrank you.

Boosting only affects this board. It does not affect marketplace search results, city or profession listings, or regular ordering — those are ordered by profile completeness and recent updates, and payments play no part. A board position is also not an official recommendation or certification, and does not mean a pro is more skilled.
