FAQ
A business needs a 4★ Google rating and at least five reviews to be listed at all. From there we score on a combination of average rating and total review count. The composite favours businesses with both high ratings AND a meaningful number of reviews — so a 5-star painter & decorator with 3 reviews won't outrank a 4.9-star one with 200. No paid placements, no sponsorship.
