FAQ
We score every published business on a combination of average customer rating and total review count, filtered through a 4.5★ minimum. 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.
