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 or the order. If a business is a paying customer, its data profile says so.
