Review Guidelines — NIL Agent Directory

The NIL Agent Directory exists to help student-athletes, families, and schools make informed decisions by sharing honest, respectful, and helpful feedback about their experiences with NIL-focused agents.

To keep reviews credible and useful, we ask all users to follow these guidelines:

1. Be Honest and Accurate

Share your actual experience working with the agent — the good, the bad, or somewhere in between.
Avoid exaggerating, making false claims, or posting second-hand stories you can’t verify.

2. Keep it Respectful

Critique services and professionalism — not personal characteristics like race, gender, religion, or appearance.
No profanity, hate speech, or personal attacks.

3. Be Specific

Details make reviews far more useful. Consider including:

  • How responsive was the agent?

  • Were fees, commissions, and contract terms clear?

  • Did they negotiate deals effectively and communicate well?

  • Did they provide NIL-specific guidance on compliance, branding, or contracts?

4. No Conflicts of Interest

Do not post reviews for your own business or on behalf of a competitor.
Friends, family, and business partners of the agent should not submit reviews unless they were also a paying client.

5. Stick to Your Experience

Avoid making claims about legal or ethical violations unless they are a matter of public record.
If you have a serious complaint (fraud, misconduct), use our Report a Concern form so we can handle it appropriately.

6. Star Ratings Explained

We use a 1–5 star scale:

  • 5 stars: Excellent — went above and beyond expectations.

  • 4 stars: Good — met expectations with only minor issues.

  • 3 stars: Average — acceptable, but left room for improvement.

  • 2 stars: Poor — fell short in key areas.

  • 1 star: Very poor — would not recommend.

7. Verification

We may request proof that you worked with the agent (such as signed contracts, invoices, or relevant communication records).
Reviews that cannot be verified may be removed.

8. Edits and Removal

You may edit or remove your review at any time by contacting info@NILAgentDirectory.com.
We reserve the right to remove reviews that violate these guidelines.

9. Agent Responses

Agents can reply publicly to reviews to address concerns, clarify details, or thank clients.
Replies should remain professional — this is an opportunity to build trust and credibility.

10. Compare Multiple NIL Agents

Our directory allows you to compare agents side-by-side.
Use the Compare feature to see reviews, ratings, specialties, fees, and services at a glance.
Comparing multiple agents before making a decision can help you find the best fit for your needs.

11. Our Goal

We believe in transparency. Honest reviews — positive or negative — help student-athletes and families choose the right NIL agent, while encouraging professionals to maintain the highest level of service.
