How the scorecard works

Rating is each shop’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it, set against the other shops here. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how lately customers are still leaving reviews.
