Fair visibility: provider results are rotated to avoid favouring companies based on alphabetical order.Why?
CompareHQ rotates provider results to give eligible providers fair visibility, instead of ranking them alphabetically. The order changes once a day and is the same for everyone that day. Paid listing tiers can affect visibility as described in our Comparison methodology; within any given tier, order is rotated fairly rather than by company name. As CompareHQ develops, results may also incorporate objective matching criteria based on a buyer's requirements.
Many providers price on request. Describe what you need once and we'll match you with suitable providers, who reply with their approach and price. They won't see your name or contact details unless you choose to share them. Free for buyers.
