How Do You Select the Best Companies?
We begin by looking at professionals who are active in their given categories across California. Using a collection of specialized tools and resources, we look through publicly available data (reviews, testimonials, ratings, social media, and more) and reach out to the business to verify their hours and other details.
We ensure that they are in good standing in their local communities and then use a proprietary combination of software to grade them according to the following criteria:
- Qualification
How qualified are they to do the work in their chosen field? Do they have any licenses or certifications?
- Availability
Are they open during normal business hours? Are the hours clearly posted on their website and at their actual storefront?
- Reputation
What are others saying about them? How well-known are they in the community?
- Experience
How many years have they been in business? Have they won any awards or accolades?
- Professionalism
How do they treat their customers? Are they courteous?
In addition to hand-selecting businesses to feature on Local Tier, we also provide a detailed, rich library of how-to information, tutorials, guides and more written by knowledgeable, experienced professionals. This allows us to connect local communities to industry professionals so that you can make an informed decision with confidence when it comes to choosing the best professional for your business.
