Our ranking methodology is transparent, objective, and designed to surface the best local contractors — not the ones who pay us the most.
Contractors cannot pay to rank higher in our listings. Unlike some platforms that sell top placement, our ordering is determined entirely by objective signals: license status, Google ratings, review volume, recency, and geographic relevance.
This means the contractor at the top of our list earned that position through customer satisfaction — not advertising spend.
Every contractor must hold an active, valid state license for their trade. We cross-reference listings against the Florida DBPR database. Unlicensed contractors are not listed, regardless of reviews or reputation.
We surface real Google ratings and review counts directly from Google Business profiles. Contractors with higher ratings and more reviews rank higher within their trade category. We do not manufacture or curate reviews.
A contractor with 50 reviews from the past year ranks higher than one with 50 reviews from 5 years ago. Recency signals active operation and current customer satisfaction.
Contractors are matched to the city and subregion where they primarily operate. A roofer based in Winter Park ranks higher on Winter Park pages than one based in Kissimmee.
Contractors with complete profiles — including phone, address, website, business hours, and service descriptions — rank higher than those with incomplete information.
The best way to rank higher on Get Trusted Contractors is the same as ranking higher on Google: earn more positive reviews from satisfied customers, keep your license active, and maintain a complete business profile.
