Methodology

How we rank and why it matters.

Every business in every market is scored against the same six factors. No business pays for placement, and our scoring weights are public, read them, audit them, argue with them.

Read the full methodology
i.

Collect every provider

Every active business in a market, drawn from public maps data, licensing records, and company websites. No curated list.

ii.

Analyze the evidence

Ratings, review volume, sentiment, service breadth, longevity, and website trust signals scored per business.

iii.

Score 0 to 100

A weighted Vetted Score makes every business in every category comparable. Weights are published.

iv.

Editor review & refresh

A human editor reviews every ranking change before it's published. Scores re-evaluate monthly.
