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
