How the Local Score works

The same formula for every business. Full detail on our methodology page.

Five measures, fixed weights

  • Rating30%
  • Reviews20%
  • Recency20%
  • Experience15%
  • Profile data15%

Who is ranked. An active listing, a phone number, a rating of at least 4.0 and 10 or more public reviews.

Ties. Scores show one decimal; on a tie, more recent reviews rank higher.

Corrections. Report a wrong number; we check the source within five working days.

We never sell score increases.

Businesses can pay us for a claimed profile, leads or competitor reports. None of it touches the score. How we make money

Polk in numbers

Public records that size the market. They show how busy a trade is, not how good a business is, so they are not part of the score.

Figures from public sources. Rows tagged "Sample figure" show what our live public-data feeds will supply; they are illustrative, not real counts. Public records size the market and are not part of the score.
