Finding the right highly-skilled professional takes significant time and effort, including in-
depth research, detailed comparisons, and deciphering which online reviews are
reliable and authentic. Expertise features only objectively quantified and qualified
professionals hand-picked by our selection process. We do the research to understand
what is important when searching for experienced professionals — whether dentists,
attorneys, or roofers — so our readers trust that when we say a company is one of the
best, it is.
What We Do
Our proprietary research and selection process identifies the top service professionals
in over 200 different industries across the top cities in the United States. Every month
we help over 10M customers find the best qualified service professional for their needs.
To date, we’ve analyzed over 10M companies and have generated $200M in revenue
for the local businesses we feature on our site.
Our Selection Process
We start by identifying a broad pool of active professionals within a given business
category and geographical area. Using our custom tools and resources, we analyze
only publicly available data.
Next, we verify contact and license information to assure selection candidates are
actively doing business and are in good standing in their communities.
Then, we use our in-house software to grade each business across the following
selection criteria:
- Reputation: A history of satisfied customers giving excellent recommendations
- Credibility: Established in their industry with licensing, accreditations, and
awards - Experience: Masters of their craft, based on years of practical experience and
education - Engagement: Approachable and responsive to clients and available for new
business - Professionalism: Dedicated to providing consistently quality work and
impeccable customer service
Finally, we hand-pick the best. Our team conducts a manual review to verify that each
company on our list is truly one of the best. We then write unique and detailed business
descriptions for each company.
