We start wide
For every service in every city we cover, we gather the companies that actually serve that area. 50 metros, 15 services.
We read the reviews
Our committee researches consumer reviews across the web. How many people reviewed a company, what they said, how recent it is, and how the company responds.
We weigh it
A great rating with a long track record counts for more than a perfect score from a handful of people. Companies with very few reviews do not make the cut.
The committee decides
People make the final call on every list. We do not publish the exact recipe, so nobody can game it.
We refresh
Lists are revisited regularly and the date of the Google data is printed on every page.
What we will not do
- Sell a spot, a higher spot, or a competitor's removal.
- Run sponsored or “featured” placements.
- Publish a company with no real track record.
Listed? The badge is free.
Every company on a list can show its badge at no cost. It links back to the list so customers can check for themselves.
