Support Maverik
When a customer creates a support ticket for one of your products, this interaction process starts influencing the rating and position of your products.
It will have a negative effect on your account if you have a lot of unanswered tickets or ones that you answered days after they were created. Ensure that there are no unanswered or unopened customer tickets. Our representation scale can help you understand how your current tickets affect your account.
There are two scales available. You can see how long the first reply time is in the first graph, and the average reply time in the second graph. Green smiling faces should appear on both scales. In order to achieve this, you must reduce your average response time and first response time making them less than 8 hours.
It is important to remember that the quality of your product support is a critical ranging factor.
A Support Maverik badge will be activated on your account when you achieve two green smiling faces.
