Reading the scorecards

The scorecards use public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average, and review volume is how many customers have rated each business. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a perfect score from a few dozen people is read more cautiously than the same score from hundreds. Recency reflects how recently reviews keep arriving.
