How the scorecard works

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the shop, ranked against the others on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a rating from a thousand people carries more weight than the same rating from a few. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews.
