How are businesses ranked?
For each trade and city, goKalki collects the Google Maps listings shown for searches in that city. That covers most businesses, but not necessarily every one.
Each business is scored by its Google rating, weighted by its number of reviews, so a 5.0 from 12 reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from 600. The score is (reviews × rating + 50 × the city average) ÷ (reviews + 50).
To be listed, a business needs a rating of 4.0 or more from at least 20 reviews. Averages count those with at least 5 reviews.
A city gets a report when it has at least 50 rated businesses of that trade and at least 15 that qualify for the list. Reports show only what is public on Google Maps: name, area, rating, review count and a link to the live listing. Never phone numbers.
goKalki is not paid by anyone on any list, and nobody can pay to be on one. To correct or remove a business, write to hello@gokalki.com.
