How we research companies in the San Francisco Bay Area
Our crawlers read what real customers already wrote in public, then apply one identical formula to every company. No surveys, no self-reported data, no paid placement.
We scan up to 8 public review sources
Google, Yelp, Facebook, BBB, Houzz, Angi, HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack, Nextdoor, HomeStars and industry-specific sites — not one platform's opinion.
Every company gets the same 0-100 score
Rating quality (30), review volume (20), source breadth (15), recency (12), consistency between sources (10), owner responsiveness (8) and data completeness (5).
Nobody can buy a position
There is no paid placement in this ranking. Companies can claim their profile to keep data current, but claiming never moves them up.
Rankings refresh continuously
Our crawlers re-scan businesses on a rolling schedule, so a company that starts collecting bad reviews drops — usually within days.
