How we rank

  1. We collect the Google rating and review count of every business in a category in Boston.
  2. Each business gets a weighted score: a high rating from 3 people is not
    worth a high rating from 400.
  3. We leave out closed businesses and those with fewer than 10 reviews, then publish the top ten.
  4. Rankings are recalculated every quarter โ€” and are never for sale.
