The 2026 Ranking Methodology

The Score Isn't Assigned.
It's Learned.

We built a semantic analysis engine that reads what patients actually say — because stars aren't enough to tell the full story.

The Philosophy

Netflix didn't manually rate every movie. They built a system that learned from what customers actually watched, rated, and abandoned.

We do the same thing for Botox providers.

The InjectorIndex.com Index is a data-driven ranking engine that learns from patient language. The more data our engine analyzes, the stronger the "Signal" becomes. We don't award points; we measure relevance.

Why Star Ratings
Are Broken

A provider can have 4.9 stars and still leave you with a frozen face. Star ratings alone can be gamed, and they don't capture the nuance of aesthetic results.

X
"The doctor was so nice! 5 stars." (Doesn't mention the result.)
X
"They have a great loyalty program." (Marketing, not medicine.)

Semantic Flag Example

"I look so frozen, I can't move my eyebrows."

The Four Signals

Instead of an arbitrary point system, our engine calculates four independent signals to determine a provider's rank.

Semantic Output Analysis
Impact: High

Natural Language Signal

Our model is trained to identify language that indicates natural, conservative outcomes. It differentiates between "looking refreshed" and "looking like I had work done."

Verified Pricing Data
Impact: Medium

Transparency Signal

Providers who publish real per-unit pricing receive a boosted signal. Hidden pricing correlates with high-pressure upselling, which our index penalizes.

Federal NPI Sync
Impact: Foundational

Verification Signal

We cross-reference every provider against the federal NPI database. If we can't verify their professional standing, their score is suppressed.

Review Velocity Analysis
Impact: Dynamic

Consistency Signal

Recent data is weighted progressively. A provider who was great in 2019 but has poor reviews in 2026 will see their signal drop rapidly.

The Score is Dynamic.

A provider's score can change daily based on new data. We don't believe in permanent rankings. You have to earn your place in the index every single month.
