How Locufy works for customers

Nearest firstResults are listed by how far the provider actually is from you — not by who paid for the spot.
One score from every reviewGoogle, Trustpilot and Locufy reviews combined into one score, weighted by how many there are — so a 5.0 from three reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from three hundred.
