Reading the scores

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume shows how many customers have rated each company, set against the others on the page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from more than 1,250 customers carries more weight than a 4.9 from a few hundred. Recency reflects how recently reviews arrive.
