Every figure on this page is drawn from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many people have rated the company, compared with other companies in the pool. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a rating built on more reviews counts for more. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.
