Behind the scorecards

Each number comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, measured against other Austin movers. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from over a thousand people counts for more than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency shows how recently customers still leave reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.
