How we score (TXScore v0)
Every business gets one TXScore from 0 to 100 from four weighted factors, computed from public data the same way in every city. Rankings follow the score and nothing else. Paid placements never affect the score and appear in a separate, labelled block.
When a factor can’t be measured for a business, it is left out and the remaining weights are renormalized — so a business is never penalized for missing public records.
| Factor | Weight | How it’s measured |
|---|---|---|
| Reputation | 45% | Google star rating and review count, weighted: a 4.9★ from 30 reviews earns less trust than a 4.9★ from 300 reviews. No Google reviews scores zero. |
| Review volume | 20% | Number of Google reviews on a diminishing scale; 1,000+ reviews reach full marks. |
| Availability | 20% | Saturday hours, Sunday hours, evening/24-hour or same-day availability. Extra points for broader coverage. |
| Footprint | 15% | How widely established the business is across public sources. Placeholder for license and credential data, which joins the formula in v1. |
v1 roadmap: state license matching (TDLR/CSLB/DBPR), review recency, proximity, claimed profiles and verified reviews — each with a transparent weight, exactly like above.
