Beyond a rating

A satisfied customer is not always a loyal customer

A star rating captures one part of an experience. A recommendation question captures another. A strong customer relationship includes more: confidence in the next visit, intent to choose the business again and preference over comparable alternatives.

Research background

Inspired by Nordic relationship marketing

RelationRate draws inspiration from Nordic relationship marketing research, where customer relationships are understood as something that develops over time – beyond a single satisfactory experience.

It therefore considers trust, repeat choice, preference, recommendation and self-reported repeat behaviour. The result is a short, practical tool for consumer businesses, built on a proprietary model.

Looking ahead

From individual responses to a clearer market picture

As the dataset grows, the ambition is to publish recurring customer relationship reports with trends and relevant comparisons across industries, regions and countries. All reporting will require sufficient data and clear methodology rules.

FAQ

The essentials, clearly explained

What is RelationRate?+

A service that brings several perspectives on the relationship between a business and its customers into one score, supported by written feedback.

How is it different from a star rating?+

RelationRate also asks about trust, repeat choice, preference, recommendation, recurring first choice, service and value.

Is RelationRate the same as NPS?+

No. NPS is based on a recommendation question. RelationRate includes recommendation as one perspective among several.

How do you know responses come from customers?+

Businesses share unique links and QR codes around customer encounters. We call these business-invited responses, not verified purchases.

Are all comments published immediately?+

No. Written reviews are moderated before they may be published.

When is a score or industry average shown?+

Only when the data meets requirements for volume, recency and comparability.

What does it cost?+

The business profile is free. Deeper analysis, more collection channels and ongoing advice are paid add-ons.
