How ShomoRank works
A score you can read like a recipe.
PageRank counted backlinks. ShomoRank counts the people who'd actually recommend it to their cousin.
Community endorsements
Verified members of communities like Coils & Coffee, Skin Stories, and Soft Skin Sundays vouch for brands they use weekly.
Spam-free by design
No anonymous reviews. No paid placements at the top. Reputation is earned and visible.
Open ranking math
Every score shows its receipts: who endorsed it, how often it's saved, and what your hair / skin / body type thinks.
The manifesto
You don't beat Google by building a bigger Google. You beat them by building a smaller, smarter, kinder engine that works for a community — not on them.
No ads. No tracking.
We never sell your queries. The business model is membership and ethical API access — not surveillance.
Human-submitted index.
We start clean. Verified contributors add brands. No blind crawl, no SEO sludge.
Cultural NLP.
Small open models fine-tuned on community-labeled queries. '4C wash day' actually works.
Federated future.
Each community can run its own shomolove node, cross-searchable through one open protocol.
Founding communities get premium listings — forever.
We're seeding the index across hair, body, and face. Bring your community in early.
No spam. No ad pixels. We mean it.
