How we rank
Each business is scored on its average rating weighted by how many ratings it has, so a handful of perfect scores cannot outrank hundreds of near-perfect ones. We use reviews left on LocallyIrish.ie where a business has them, otherwise its Google rating — shown and labelled on every entry. A Google rating needs at least 5 ratings to count. Businesses without enough ratings are listed separately, unranked. Paid listings cannot buy a higher position. The list refreshes hourly.
