## How the Local Score works

The same formula for every business. Full detail on our [methodology page](https://bestoflocalrankings.com/methodology/).

### Five measures, fixed weights

- Rating **30%**
- Reviews **20%**
- Recency **20%**
- Experience **15%**
- Profile data **15%**

**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](https://bestoflocalrankings.com/corrections/); 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](https://bestoflocalrankings.com/how-we-make-money/)
