How we check

Everything on this site is a fact you can verify yourself. Here is exactly where each one comes from.

The ratings and review counts

Google Places, captured on the date shown on each page. We do not adjust, weight or filter them. We do not host reviews of our own and we do not accept payment to change a listing.

The website checks

We fetch the company’s home page once, on the date shown, and record structural facts: whether it responded, whether it carries review markup, whether it has structured data, a meta description and a mobile viewport, how many top-level headings it has, and the year in its copyright notice.

These are properties of the page, not opinions about the business. We deliberately do not rate, score or rank anyone on website quality — only on review volume, which is the public’s own count.

What we do not do

• We do not judge the work.A company’s reviews are the verdict on their service. Nothing about their HTML changes that, and we never imply otherwise.
• We do not check every page.One visit to the home page. A finding here is about that page on that date, nothing more.
• We do not list companies under 50 reviews.Below that the sample is too small to say anything useful.

Errors

Automated checks get things wrong. Sites change, go down for a minute, or block automated visitors. If anything here is inaccurate we will fix or remove it — see corrections.
