How the scores work

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated each company, set against other plumbers in Albuquerque. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from hundreds of people counts for more than a 4.8 from a few dozen. Recency shows how recently customers are still leaving reviews.
