Every list on STR Select is scored the same way, with the same printed weights. A ranking whose reasoning is hidden is an advertisement. This page is the reasoning.
Last updated September 12, 2026
Scored 0 to 10 per company, per market or category. A company can see its own scores by claiming its listing.
Published rates score highest. Ranges disclosed on request score mid. Book a call to find out scores lowest. We print what we find either way, including not published, with the date we checked.
Only reviews from LinkedIn connected, editor approved customers count here, plus public review scores that always carry their source and date.
Staffed local presence, portfolio density and years operating in market. A national brand with two listings scores below a native operator with forty. For tools, this input becomes methodology depth: how the work actually gets done.
Full service versus co-hosting, filing versus tracking, coverage claims, all verified against the company's own published pages, never a sales call.
There are no sponsored or featured slots. Listing, claiming, badges and lead matching are free and never move a company on a list.
Every figure carries a source and a date. Where we cannot verify, we print not verified. A plausible guess never ships.
Every review is tied to a real LinkedIn identity and approved by an editor. Competitor sabotage does not get published.
Four steps between write a review and published. Reviews cover managers, services and tools alike.
The reviewer signs in with their LinkedIn account. Identity, not anonymity.
Star rating plus experience, tied to a specific listed company.
A human editor checks for conflicts, spam and competitor sabotage. Nothing auto publishes.
Approved reviews appear with first name, verified badge and date, once a company reaches 2 approved reviews.
Every page carries dated facts. Companies can claim their listing to correct anything, and anyone can flag an error. Fixes ship with a visible updated stamp. Claim your listing
