About the UpCity Methodology
Our Methodology Explained
UpCity has developed a proprietary algorithm that utilizes digital signals to measure the credibility and trustworthiness of each of our Sponsored Profiles. We use this algorithm to build an assessment of how a service provider compares to other service providers. It is derived from a variety of data points that are designed to help business owners find a partner that is the best fit for them, and one they can trust. Our methodology helps guide buyers to the top service providers by service area in each local market and nationally, providing businesses with a trusted resource when selecting a partner.
There are two main factors used to in the UpCity algorithm:
- UpCity Profile Completion: UpCity lists more than 50,000 provider profiles. Profiles highlight nearly 40 data points on each provider, including services offered, target markets, price points and more.
- UpCity Reviews: The reviews on UpCity provide an in-depth view of how a service provider’s customers feel about them and their services, and are a key component to how likely UpCity is to recommend a provider to businesses seeking services. Both quantity and quality of reviews are considered in the algorithm. UpCity has collected 9,000+ in-depth reviews capturing specific feedback.
How Does the UpCity Recommendability Rating Help Businesses Find the Right Partner?
The UpCity Recommendability Rating is based on information provided by service providers and businesses as well as public and third-party data sources. As such, it should not be treated as the only source of information a business uses when making a buying decision. The UpCity Recommendability Rating is designed to be an accurate assessment of a service provider’s credibility, and should be considered in conjunction with other available information like client reviews and testimonials, industry endorsements, and peer recommendations.
