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
