Build a Stronger RateMDs Rating History, the Compliant Way.
Because RateMDs is a plain average with no recency weighting, consistent, compliant rating requests over time are what actually shift the number.
Ask every customer after a real experience — and if you need volume on a deadline, RateMDs review packages start at $110 for up to 5 reviews.
Organic tactics that actually work
- Ask at the close of the visit, not after the fact — RateMDs’ own guidance is to train front-desk staff to close out an appointment with a rating request once the visit itself is wrapped up.
- Use the scheduling and reminder systems you already have — RateMDs suggests folding rating requests into the same appointment-reminder texts or emails patients already expect.
- Keep QR codes and request links limited to actual patients — business cards, appointment reminders, and in-office signage are fine; RateMDs specifically advises against using them in outbound marketing or signage visible to non-patients, since that undermines rating authenticity.
- Never offer payment or any other incentive for a rating — RateMDs states this directly: pressuring or paying for patient ratings can damage your reputation and may even be illegal.
- Respond to ratings promptly and keep responses free of protected health information — RateMDs’ guidance is to thank the patient, note that concerns are taken seriously, and invite them to contact the office directly, without confirming any detail about their care.

Frequently asked questions
Ask at the close of the visit, use the same scheduling or reminder system you already send patients, and keep QR codes and request links limited to actual patients — in the office, on business cards, or in appointment reminders, not in outbound marketing visible to non-patients.
A request link, a scannable QR code, and a printable in-office template that RateMDs makes available to Promoted and Promoted Plus plan members specifically to make asking for ratings easier and more consistent.
Not necessarily — because RateMDs uses a plain average, volume only helps if the new ratings are positive relative to what’s already on the profile. A steady stream of genuine, compliantly-requested ratings is what moves the score, not volume for its own sake.
