Find the best rated businesses, with the reviews to back it.

Each business's rating is weighed by how many reviews support it, against the businesses found in the same search. A high rating with a handful of reviews counts for less until more customers confirm it. The same business in the same market always gets the same score.

You can set a minimum number of reviews (“at least 50 reviews”) in the sentence or on the plan card, so only well-established businesses are ranked.

• Partnerships and referral programmes: strong businesses make strong partners.
• Premium suppliers and services, whose customers care about quality.
• Recruiters, when the best-run businesses are where the best people work.
• Anyone choosing who to work with in a new city.

A best rated business is not a business with a problem, and Pinweaver never describes it as one: its reasons say what the business does well.

Google Maps shows a rating and a review count on every result, but it orders them for the person searching, not by how proven they are, so a new place with a perfect score sits next to an institution with years of reviews. Comparing them by hand means a spreadsheet and a formula for each city.

Pinweaver weighs every business found in the search the same way and ranks them, so the list you get is already in order. Refine it by chat for free (“only the ones with a website”, “independents only”) save the ones you want into a list, or share the results with a client as a read-only link.
