The ranking algorithm
Each business is scored on a 0–1 scale across four signals, then weighted:
-
Review rating · 40%
Bayesian-smoothed so a 5-star shop with 10 reviews doesn't outrank a 4.9 with 400.
-
Review volume · 30%
Log-scaled so the gap between 50→500 matters more than 5,000→6,000.
-
Proximity to your zip · 20%
Haversine distance from your zip's centroid; falls off after a soft cap.
-
Category fit · 10%
Primary category beats secondary; related categories are surfaced lower.
