The Yard Index: Florida’s monthly landscaper rankings

Every month we pull public Google Business Profile data for landscapers in 10 Florida cities, score each one on the same seven factors, and publish the top ten. The formula is public, the numbers come from Google rather than from us, and no business can pay to move.

How we rank

Seven factors, each normalized inside its own city so a landscaper competes with its neighbors and not with the rest of Florida. Nothing subjective, no paid placement, no client preference.

  1. 25% Rating quality The star rating, weighted by how many reviews stand behind it.
  2. 20% Review volume How many reviews the profile has in total, on a log scale so one large outlier cannot flatten the field.
  3. 20% Recent reviews (90 days) Reviews received in the last 90 days, measured against the city median.
  4. 10% Owner replies to reviews How often the owner replies to recent reviews.
  5. 10% Profile completeness Whether hours, website, phone, categories and attributes are filled in.
  6. 10% Photos How many photos the profile carries, on the same log scale as review volume.
  7. 5% Website Whether a website is linked, answers over HTTPS, and works on a phone.
