Only the local details change. 1. **We start with everyone.** Every business working in the trade and city that we can find in public listings and review platforms. 2. **We remove the risky.** No working phone, too few genuine reviews or a weak rating, and a business is set aside. 3. **We read the record.** How many reviews, how recent, years in business, complete details and the checks we could confirm. 4. **We keep three.** Our editors choose the three they would call first and write down exactly why. Selection is never for sale. [Read the full methodology](https://thelocalthree.com/how-we-select/). Questions ## Before you call anyone How does Local Three choose businesses?
