Best Pick Reports

Since 1997, the Best Pick Reports team has conducted consumer satisfaction research evaluating home service provider performance across dozens of service categories. The organization has completed over one million homeowner reviews and expanded from Atlanta to major metro areas including Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and as of 2024, Arizona, New York, and Ohio.

In 2018, Best Pick Reports became part of EverCommerce, a service commerce platform. This partnership enables connections with other EverCommerce brands through SEO, paid media, social media, website design, email marketing, and lead generation services.

How the Program Works

Qualification Criteria

Companies seeking Best Pick certification must meet specific qualification criteria. The initial assessment analyzes Google reviews, requiring:

An overall 4.0 or greater Google rating over three years
A minimum of 25 Google reviews (15 upon annual renewal) for the primary service category; 10 reviews minimum for additional categories

For companies below the review threshold, we will ask you to submit a list of customer names for internal research. We conduct internal research via email (preferred) and/or phone surveys with your customers.

Verification Requirements

During qualification, Best Pick Reports verifies:

Service area alignment with guidebook distribution maps
Advertising of qualifying service categories
Good financial standing
Active status with the Secretary of State
Active general liability insurance policy
Active workers' compensation insurance (where required)
Active state-required trade licenses

Once certified, companies are featured in printed guides, bestpickreports.com, and the Best Pick mobile app.
