How Expert Psychics Evaluates Psychic Websites
Our review framework helps readers compare online psychic services using clearly defined factors such as reader selection, pricing, reading methods, client feedback, support and customer policies. Stephanie Mauldin oversees the research, editing and final evaluation.
Weighted Review Factors
Each evaluation considers ten defined categories that together produce a 100% framework.
Editorial Lead
Stephanie Mauldin reviews service information and makes the final editorial decision.
Month Recheck Goal
Important service details are reviewed periodically and sooner when material changes become known.
What Our Reviews Are Designed to Do
Our reviews summarize information that can affect a reader’s experience, including available specialties, communication methods, rates, introductory offers, client feedback, customer support and important policies. A favorable review does not guarantee that every person will connect with a particular psychic or receive the outcome they hope for.
Our Review Process
Each review follows a repeatable editorial workflow so readers can understand what was examined and what a score represents.

Evaluation Categories and Weighting
The percentages below total 100% and show how much each category contributes to the overall framework.
Advisor Screening and Quality Controls
We look for information about applications, interviews, test readings, identity or experience checks, ongoing monitoring, client feedback and the removal of poorly performing readers. We also consider how clearly the provider explains its screening process.
Reader Selection and Specialties
We review the range of readers and specialties, including love, relationships, career, tarot, astrology, mediumship and general intuitive guidance. Languages, reading tools and useful profile information are also considered.
Reading Methods and Availability
We examine whether readings are available by phone, chat, video, email or scheduled appointment, along with the clarity of availability indicators and the ease of finding a reader who is online.
Pricing Transparency
We consider whether rates are visible before a reading, how charges are calculated, whether minimums or connection charges apply, and how clearly billing information is explained.
Introductory Value
We review new-client offers, free or discounted minutes, eligibility rules, expiration terms and whether regular prices are easy to find after an introductory offer ends.
Reader Profiles and Client Feedback
We assess biographies, specialties, experience descriptions, availability information and client reviews. We also consider whether critical feedback is visible and how reviews are collected or moderated.
Customer Support
We review contact methods, support hours, help resources, complaint procedures and how easily a client can find assistance.
Satisfaction and Refund Policies
We consider eligibility requirements, request deadlines, refund or credit limitations, policy clarity and the steps a client must take to raise a concern.
Privacy and Payment Information
We examine whether privacy and payment information is easy to locate, which payment methods are accepted, how billing is described and which account controls are available.
Website and Mobile Experience
We consider navigation, search and filtering, mobile usability, reader-comparison tools, page performance and the accessibility of important policies.
How the Final Score Is Calculated
Every factor receives a score from 0 to 10. That score is multiplied by the factor’s published percentage weight. The ten weighted results are added together and rounded to one decimal place for the displayed editorial score.
-
Score Each Factor
Assign a 0-10 score only after checking the information relevant to that factor.
-
Apply the Weight
Multiply the factor score by its percentage weight. A 20% factor affects the result more than a 5% factor.
-
Add the Results
Add all ten weighted contributions to produce a score out of 10.
-
Round Transparently
Round the calculated result to one decimal place and show the unrounded figure on the individual review page.
Example: a calculated result of 9.26 is displayed as 9.3/10. Visitor comments and on-page voting are reported separately and do not automatically change the editorial score.
Customer Review Moderation and Verification
Customer comments displayed on ExpertPsychics.com are separate from the editorial score. WordPress is configured so new comments require manual approval before publication.
-
Manual Approval
A submitted comment remains unpublished until it is reviewed.
-
Publication Rules
Spam, duplicates, unrelated promotion, harassment, private contact or payment details and off-topic submissions may be rejected.
-
Verification Labels
Unless a comment is explicitly labeled verified, we have not independently confirmed that its author purchased a reading.
-
No Claim Validation
Approval means a comment meets publication rules; it does not prove psychic accuracy, identity or the outcome described.
Relevant positive and critical feedback may both be published. We do not treat a testimonial, visitor vote or comment total as scientific evidence of psychic ability or as a guarantee that another visitor will have the same experience.
Editorial Review Versus a Purchased Reading
Not every evaluation includes the purchase of a reading. When no reading was purchased, the review is based on the provider’s website, profiles, pricing, policies, support information and available client feedback. A personally purchased reading should be disclosed clearly.
Scores and Rankings
Scores summarize the published criteria; they do not predict an individual psychic’s accuracy or guarantee a satisfactory connection. Compensation may affect placement but does not guarantee a favorable written evaluation. See our Advertising and Affiliate Disclosure.
Updates and Corrections
Prices, promotions, availability and policies can change. Confirm current terms directly with the provider. To report outdated information, email [email protected] with the review URL and the detail that should be checked.
