How we rank
- We collect the Google rating and review count of every business in a category in Raleigh.
- Each business gets a weighted score: a high rating from 3 people is not
worth a high rating from 400. - We leave out closed businesses and those with fewer than 10 reviews, then publish the top ten.
- Rankings are recalculated every quarter — and are never for sale.
