Questions
No. Critics are invited by Loppee. Once you have a track record of reviews you can ask to be considered, and other customers can recommend you. Neither makes anyone a critic: only an invitation does.
The option appears on your own page once you have 10 published reviews across 8 places and an account at least 60 days old. Whether your reviews are positive or negative plays no part.
Yes. A critic can use a pen name in public. Loppee always knows who they are, and checks it before their first review as a critic.
Not today. The reward is exposure: your name in AI answers, a page of your own, and followers. A contributor fund is planned.
No. Critics pay for their own visits and take nothing from a place they review. Pay never buys trust or position on Loppee.
Recognition from independent critics, given as one, two or three Loppee Stars. It is not a trust label and not a rating, and it shows on a place only when other critics, visiting on their own, agree. Stars never change a place's Verified, Listed or Registry label, or where it appears in results.
Yes. In the critic's own city and category it counts as two customer reviews, and up to four with Helpful votes. Praise and criticism are weighted in exactly the same way.
It is opening soon. You can start reviewing on Loppee now; a track record is what lets you ask to be considered.
