How the scores work

Rating is each company’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it, compared with the others on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from more than a thousand people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a hundred or so. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews.
