How ranking works on VivahRank

Short version: VivahRank is a paid advertising service. Ranking on any VivahRank leaderboard is determined entirely by the amount a vendor pays for placement in that week. We do not evaluate quality, reputation, portfolio, or reviews when computing rank.

The mechanic

Every VivahRank board is scoped to a city, a service category (e.g. wedding photographers), and a single week. Each Sunday at midnight IST, boards reset and a fresh weekly board opens.

Vendors purchase ranked placement by bidding on that week's board. A vendor's total bid this week is the sum of all payments they have made toward that board.

Rankings within a board are computed as follows: highest total bid for the week takes rank #1, second-highest takes rank #2, and so on. Ties are broken by whichever vendor placed their first bid earliest.

Pricing

• Minimum first bid on any board: ₹500
• Minimum top-up to increase a bid: ₹100
• Minimum increment to take rank #1: ₹500 above the current #1
• Maximum per transaction: ₹50,000
• Maximum per vendor per week: ₹2,00,000

All prices are inclusive of 18% GST under HSN 998365 (online advertising services). Every settled payment produces a GST tax invoice.

Refunds

Bid payments are non-refundable except under the specific circumstances listed on our refund policy page. Being outbid during the week is not grounds for a refund.

What VivahRank is not

VivahRank is not a review platform, a booking marketplace, or a directory of "verified best" vendors. We do not curate, rate, or recommend vendors editorially. All rankings you see are paid placement, as disclosed on every leaderboard page.

This page exists to comply with the Advertising Standards Council of India's guidelines on disclosure of paid advertising and the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021.
